Grungy Monday #19 and Simon Says Stamp and Show a TH Technique
Great stuff again this week... opportunities to get inky and get out the paints. I have done a tag for Simon Says Stamp and Show a Tim Holtz technique and for Grungy Monday #19, Tim Holtz Christmas tag here... ooo, so exciting... so sit tight and here we go!!
Yippee... lots of opportunities here to use my new Victor Vagabond... for the plastic tag and texture folder and the umbrella man die. Holding breath, I tiptoed up to VV and prepped for him cutting and texturizing... and it worked!!! Hurrah!!
I decided to use the TH technique but to substitute my own ingredients... The background was painted with trad tan, then distressed with Viva gold and haematite, to give this grungy feel. The stamp is double stamped in weathered wood and black soot, then embossed with clear ep - well THAT is very unusual for me!!! tee hee...
The piece was finished off with a double crystal bauble from TH and two phillips screw head brads... T!m used washers etc here...
The umbrella man was coloured with Viva haematite, a wonderfully shiny, grey paste, then he was printed with words from a TH stamp... this picture shows the great dots pressed into the plastic packaging tag, meant to look like rain... no!!! you would never have guessed eh!!?
The bow was seam binding, dyed with weathered wood distress ink. I stood the tag up for these two shots and the reflections were very interesting...
So there we have my latest tag - not sure how many I have made this year, but it IS a very lot!!! tee hee... Thanks for looking and leaving your wonderful comments... off to do a bit more tidying and crafting
