Time Flies Again

Can't believe January is almost gone. Time flies when you are having fun.
So far this week we had one hot summer day 76, one stormy days with over 2 inches of rain; Yea! we needed rain and a couple days of cold weather, today's high is 34.

This afternoon I made this tag:
All images are from Viva Las VegaStamps! Ultra high gloss clear embossing powder was used over the Archival inked Time flies and bicycle. Brilliance copper ink was used on the diamond background stamp. The base tag, I used dylusions spray inks and a stencil with gesso. Gears were inked with Archival black ink. Ribbon from Paper Studio was applied with Tim's tiny attacher. Bakers Twine by Sew Easy.
Almost forgot; the ATC and Tag were made with Tim Holtz dies.
Miracle Tape was used to apply ATC to tag.

12 Tags of 2013 ~ January

Happy New Year! I was inspired to make this tag using Tim's background he shared for our January tag and then finished it for Tim's birthday; January 7th. I hope Tim likes it!

My tag was made with Tim's word and crown stamp, copper, gold and silver dabber paint, a variety of distress inks, mini-sanding tool, grungepaper, embossing folder, word play die cut, gear die cut, heat tool and Vagabond embossing tool.
I've also used Ranger's archival black ink
Inkssentials ink blending foam and tool,
VLVS ultra high clear embossing powder
and a Phillip's screw brad.
1/4" and 1/2" Sticky doos to attach the crown and word stamp to tag.
Glossy accents to apply everything else.
To finish, I inked a word stamp on the distress stained trim to finish.

I love all the details Tim shared for his January tag:  http://timholtz.com/12-tags-of-2013-january/
