I've decided to join in with Tim Holtz' 12 Tags of 2014, and here is my effort for January. And below is Tim's. The theme is "time". I don't have any clock parts so I went for gears for the imagery, but added a clock rub-on and appropriate sentiment. I sponged the gears with Distress Inks, then decided to paint them with Brushed Pewter Distress Paint and it dried a bit bubbly, but it made the gears look rusted and blistered, so it was a happy accident.
I'm entering it into Simon Says Wednesday Challenge, Anything Goes with Twine or String, and I'll be back in a few with another entry for this challenge.
This distressed tag is such a master piece :) love all the elements on ur tag!!
ReplyDeleteFun. A great reason to get inky. Can you believe I just saw that there was a craft show in Frankfurt (like 45 minutes from my house!) and I didn't know about it. Mr. Tim was there! Probably the closest I'll ever get to the man and I blow it!
ReplyDeleteDeeptis is so right...another master piece Shirly! It would make Tim VERY proud seeing the creative way you have used his product! One of the best guy cards EVER!!!
ReplyDeleteWow! Amazing tag - so creative! Loll xx
ReplyDeleteI love that you chose the gears and arrow for your tag...the sentiment is fabulous, too! Great idea for a young guy (and I think they're the hardest to create for)!
ReplyDeleteThis is just awesome! I love it! Great tag! Thanks so much for playing along with us over at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge!
ReplyDeleteI was wondering how you got that amazing effect on the gears, Shirley ... what a brilliant happy accident! Fabulous guy tag! Anita :)
