This is a tag that I made for Tim Holtz 12 Tags of 2012 and the Fashionable Stamping Challenge.
Many of us are huge fans of Ranger and Tim's techniques/creations. I try to participate as often as I can in the 12 tags of 2012 and below you can see my take on Tim's tag for August.
August Tag |
I improvised Tim's tag as there were several items that I did not have, however, by swapping some of the techniques around I was still able to meet the challenge. Techniques for the August Tag are available on Tim's blog by clicking HERE.
As I did not have the folders Tim used I used an oval tag and another sizzix embossing folder. Instead of a stamped frame I used a die cut frame, inking it with Dark soot DI and then clear embossing. I used a crown stamp in the centre of the aperture, instead of the shadow stamp image Tim used.
The handmade tattered florals were made using Sizzix TH die cuts and kraft card. This is the first time I have made these flowers and I had great fun.
Over at Fashionable Stamping this week challenge 29 is Anything Floral/Handmade Flowers.
As always the DT have created fabulous inspirational pieces and its always fun to enter.
Crafty Hugs as always
Absolutely stunning! Love the shape and those roses are spectacular.
ReplyDeleteHi Annie, do I remember you saying a while back you did not do flowers well? You could have fooled me! These flowers are just gorgeous and I love your take on Tim's design too. Every time I come over I just love looking at your blog header, it really is fabulous and I really like the font you use in the body. Crafty hugs, Anne x
