GM #34

Linda ask us to create something utilizing Tim's Crackle Resist Technique: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43m8eiQZ3P0This is my GM#34:
I used Distress Crackle Broken China with walnut ink to distress the bird cage. I used distress crackle paint in rock candy over red dabber painted bird. The tag is from a real sheet of music distress with ink and then adhered to another tag. The heart was cut with two layers of corrugated cardboard and one layer of white card stock, stamped, dabber painted with red paint, distress with rock candy crackle and then stained with walnut ink. The seam binding with inked with distress inks. The jewelry finding came from broken jewelry. Tim's miniature tag was inked and stamped with a stamp from my stash. All other supplies are from Tim Holtz and Ranger.

To My Valentine

This little boy from Penny Black 1997 was inked, stamped and color with Copic. The background portion of the card was made using a Tim Holtz technique. The red heart was made using Tim Holtz magnetic movers and shapers die. The word "to my" is from Stamping Place.
I entered this card in a challenge December 15-31. My card was drawn for a prize.
