Happy Halloween

I had a lot of fun creating this piece using lots of Tim Holtz products.
I used die cuts, stamps and embossing folder on this piece. 

Love the TF embossed background it looks and feels like wood.

12 Tags of 2013 ~ October X 2

i knew Tim would do something with his new dies and distress glitter.

My first tag, I used my digital craft cutter to make frame, owl and moon. I used Tim's techniques on these pieces.
I used Tim's magnetic branch die cut, it was trimmed and applied behind frame with glossy accents. All these pieces were distress inked and embellished with glitter from my stash.

I haven't bought any of Tim's new distress glitter and his new dies; they are on my wish list.
Peeled paint, wild honey, seedless preserves and antique linen distress paints were used on manila tag as described on Tim's blog.
Black soot distress ink was applied around both tags. 

Gold embellishment added to tag.
Coordinating distress inks were used on both crinkle ribbons.
Check out Tim's 12 tags for October,
Second tag:
 Black glitter was used over black soot inked cat and bat images.
I left the seedless preserves distress inked frame as is without the glitter. Love how the spider web looks in the opening of frame.
The spider web, bat and spider stamps were used from these sets: Tim's  CMS #05, CMS #113 and CMS #115.
CMS #155 Simple Saying used on both tags.

Thanks Tim for the inspiration!
I can't wait to see each of the Halloween tags on Tim's blog.

12 Tags of 2013 ~ September

Today, I made a tag following Tim's 12 Tags of 2013 for September tutorial. 

This is Tim's tag for September 2013: http://timholtz.com/12-tags-of-2013-september/

I used distress markers, stains, paints, distress inks, chit-chat ideology, alcohol inks on bird, pen nibs, stickles, tag die and stamps from two different sets all by Tim Holtz, and then finished the tag using a flower and stencils made with my Silhouette digital cutter, leaf and seam binding from my vintage stash.

Thanks for looking! 

After Christmas Tag

This tag was started before Christmas and finished this afternoon. Dabber paint and distress stickles were used on the poinsettia. I used several of the new distress inks on the tag. 

Reflective Imagery CC2C#30

I was asked to create our own works using the technique Reflective Imagery on page 55 in Tim's Compendium of Curiusities Vol. 2 book.

This is my project using distress inks, retro and seasonal paper pads, poinsettia die-cut and one facet all from Tim Holtz.

 CH multi medium and Ranger Glossy Accents was used as well.

I also used a Merry Christmas digital die and a tree hanger from HL. 

My santa didn't show as clear as I wanted in the facet. -(

Update: I forgot to add the base of the page was made with Tim Holtz Vintage Valise die. 

Ink Palette - Perfect Pearls CC2C #25

A request to use Tim's customized watercolor set on this week's challenge.

The Ink Palette - Perfect Pearls technique this week is on page 53 in Tim's book; Compendium of Curiosities. Volume #2.

The sponsor for this week is Simon Says Stamp: http://www.simonsaysstamp.com/servlet/StoreFront

My challenge technique was trimmed and then adhered to a frayed burlap distress inked resist paper.  4 1/4" x 5 1/2"

I used one of Tim's new Classics #2 stamps, introduced this year.

Rosette Turkey

Today on Tim Holtz blog http://timholtz.typepad.com/my_weblog/ he is sharing how he made a turkey using both of his rosette dies.

CCC #1 Togetherness

I printed off this sweet image from Tim Holtz Distressables Elements. It's from Design Originals. The background was made from one of Tim's techniques; "Water Stamping" page 35 in Compendium of Curiosities. All elements from this page are from Tim Holtz excluding the word Togetherness it's from my magnetic set MM. Page holes made with my Bind-it-All. 
I just realize I haven't had a project for this challenge technique so I renamed it CCC #1.
I love this technique, it's one of my favorites in this book.

CCC#30 Altered Metal

Linda said we are close to the end of challenges.

This challenge is a bit different than anything I've made in the past. This little page has embsossed leaf background, die cut bird with vine and CCC#30 technique from page 48 on the flowers.

CCC#20 Industrial Grunge

I used the technique on page 54 for A Compendium of  Curiosities Challenge: Industrial Grunge.

I enjoyed using these cute little photo type stamp and watercolor images with Ranger supplies and Sizzix dies from my stash.
