Fun Tag using Dylusions

Having fun today playing with Dylusions stamps, Tim's stamps, distress markers, distress inks, archival black ink, sprays and more.
I really didn't need anymore markers but have to say I love Tim's new distress markers. Of the 15 distress markers my favorite colors are: barn door, wild honey, crushed olive and faded jeans.

Thanks for Looking and Have a Nice Day!

12 Tags of 2012 ~ May

.
Without embellishment and supplies like Tim used, I completed the tag the best I could. I haven't been home since the 7th of May.
I used pattern paper from my mothers stash.
I used Tim's flower strip die, stamps, dabber paint, distress ink and stains
I made paper flowers from Tim's strip die and then inked them with distress stain. White cotton crochet thread was knotted on one end. I used wild honey distress stain to color the knot and peeled paint distress stain to color for a stem. After the string was dry, I strung the flower with the knot for the center of flower, I applied the flowers to the tag to resemble a bouquet of flowers.
The seam binding was inked with distress stain and then heat set to dry.

CC2C#5 Shattered Stains

Linda chose Shattered Stains challenge technique from Tim's newest book Compendium of Curiosities #2. Here is a link to this week's sponsor, Simon Says Stamp (www.simonsaysstamp.com). Out of respect to Tim, we can't share this technique to be eligible to participate. 

The challenge technique page 48; Shattered Stain was made using Tim's die cut leaves for wings. The remainder of the tag came from my imagination.
I used Stampers Anonymous image by Tim Holtz on the movers and shapers arch die cut.
One of Tim's stamp on the handmade torso. I'm sure that is a one of a kind and looks like it was made that way. I cut a slit in the paper and slipped the neck into the torso. Distress markers were used on the torso and face.
Dyan Reaveley stamp was inked and painted with distress markers.
A word stamp inked with Archival black on Invoke Arts and portion of face stamp from B-Line Designs.
The background was made with several colors of Memories Mists sprays.
Distress inks was used to ink Tim's stamp on the arch and color the seam binding ribbons to finish.
My wish list would include some of Dyan's Dylusions Spray to use on this piece.

Simon Says Stamp will give a $25 gift certificate to one lucky, randomly-selected participant in this week's challenge!

Thanks for Looking and Have a Nice Day!!

She has a headpiece!

I used distress inks to make the background and then added Dyan Reaveley's new stamps and a face stamp from my stash. The lips were inked with Distress markers. Archival black ink was used to stamp all images.
