Tim Holtz -CC Vol I
Hi Folks,
Once again Life is getting in the way of crafting and today is the first time I have managed a couple of hours in my 'little room'. I haven't actually made anything - but have finished off a couple of projects that had been sitting on my desk.
This is very strange for me - but I hadn't spent all my 'Christmas present ' money, my thought was to buy something 'big and special'! When I visited DD last month she took me to Cardcraft in Preston and I was looking at the Tim Holtz Compendium of Curiosities Vol I. I thought this was special, so..........
I made this tag by following page 35 - Water Stamping - love this technique! The background was made with Evergreen bough, Bundled Sage, Spun Sugar Worn Lipstick, Dusty Concord and Milled Lavender Distress Inks, the ribbon was also coloured with Evergreen Bough - wont tell you what the fingers looked like! Stamps are all TH and the butterflies were covered with Frosted Lace Stickles.
I am entering this tag in:
Sugar Creek Hollow - Tags
The Cheerful Stamp Pad - Tags
The Poodles Parlour - Anything Goes
The Stamp Man - Favourite Technique
That's all from me - and I hope to do some visiting this week to see what everyone's been up to,
Have a good week.
Avril xx
