Aug 29 TH Tag class

Tag class, $20
August 29th 9 am -11 am

This tag takes a long time - lots of drying - so we need to start right at 9:00!
 

On Tim's tag he used a guy from the Lost Relatives pack but I gave mine away the last time he used these cards so we are going with this sassy lady. More appropriate for us anyway!

Please bring to class:

• craft mat, 
• scissors, 
• heat gun, 
• adhesive including pop dots, 
• craft pick, 
• and sanding block.

If you have it, please bring

• white gesso, 
• multi-medium (gloss or matte) 
• and a brush.  

I also used

• a versamark pen, 
• distress paint - 2 colors
• black soot 
• and tarnished brass , 
• a black soot distress marker 
• and distress ink (big or small) in the following colors:   
• Blueprint Sketch, 
• Hickory Smoke, 
• Peeled Paint, 
• Salty Ocean 
• and Walnut Stain.

Tim Holtz Challenge June 2015

Here is my take on Tim's challenge - instead of a tag,  a page layout.  I did the exact same process on 12x12 Ranger manilla cardstock - used Tea Dye, Tumbled Glass and Vintage Photo sprays for the background and then used Chipped Sapphire, Stormy Sky and Tumbled Glass ink to make the plaid with the stencil.  I used Chipped Sapphire to stamp the flourish on a tag and inked a smaller tag with Stormy Sky before I stamped it with Tim's Love You to the Moon and Back saying.  I do like the way the page turned out!

June Tim Holtz Challenge

The Tim tag looks pretty close to the original that you can find here.  For the Christmas tag, I used the green ink pad we make to ink the Christmas background stamp - ran it horizontally across the words.  It was a good fast way to ink the stamp in multiple colors.
