Halloween Tag

This is a tag I completed with a Wrinkle Free Distress technique from Tim Holtz.

I used black vintage ribbon on the base of tag, pumpkins cut from scrapbook paper, idea-ology pieces on top and TH raven die cut from black card stock. 
I love how this turned out.

B for Butterfly


I've been using a variety of supplies from my stash.
This week I used Tim Holtz stamps, Dabber paints, Distress re-inkers and idea-ology. If you don't recognize the grungy b it's from Tim's alphabet foam stamp set sold several years ago.

Distress Stain Tag

I made this tag for a challenge over on OWSE. For this challenge you had to use Tim Holtz Distress Stain from Ranger.
I made the background using a technique I saw Tim use at the winter cha. It's the technique where you place several colors of distress stain down on craft sheet and drag the tag through the inks. I did this and then sprayed it with a fine mist to make the colors bleed together.
I inked Tim's papillon stamp with archival black over the distress stain. On a seperate piece of paper I stamped an image from Above the Mark using archival black. I used Tim's magnetic butterfly die with Tim's Kraft Resist from paper stash and then inked it with Distress Stain. Before applying the butterfly to the stamped and cut out image I added Ranger's Liquid Pearls dimensional pearlescent paint to the body of the stamped butterfly on the stamped image. Three  rhinestones were added to tag along with two idea-olgy pieces at the top with the seam binding.
