Tims Christmas Tag #5

It is easier to say what I had for this one! I had the right coloured distress inks and the 2 and 5 and that was it!!!
So everything else is either different or made.

Tag #4

Lots of improvising on this tag too!
I don't have Tim's pad with the Christmas papers in (sad face here) so I used a stamp instead! Santa was stamped onto tissue paper and coloured from the back with crayons and his beard was painted with snow cap dabber (using my finger) this was left to dry.
The background paper is from Crafty Individuals Christmas backing papers 6x6 pad.
Santa was adhered to this with a glue stick.
then I added bling and ribbons as Tim has instructed on his blog!

I am SO excited!!!!!

I AM SO EXCITED!!! My comment has been 'picked' on Tim's 12 days of Christmas!
Have had my conformation e-mail from Mario and a prize is on it 's way in the morning (their time).
I NEVER usually win anything, so I am SO excited!!!!

Off to make today tag and then I will blog Sat, Suns and today.

Tims Christmas Tag #3

Here is my #3 tag!
Would you believe it I don't have a red alcohol ink!!!!!
The 'branch' I used is from La Blanche, the little 'poster' is part of a stamp from Crafty Indiviuals.
The lace I coloured using bundled sage distress ink, my 'tinsel' is eyelash fibre sprayed with Adirondack colourwash spray lettuce, (another compromise), I did have tissue tape so I made the flower!

Tim Tag #2

So here is my Tim tag #2.
All the same techniques but none of the same stamps. To see Tims and get the instructions go over to his blog.
The bird stamp I used is from Crafty Individuals, the flourish is from La Blanche, I did use Tims dotty stamp too (I do have some of Tims things, honest, just not the right ones for these tags it seems!)
The 'Merry Christmas' is alphabet stickers coloured with barn door distress ink.
I used some pearls and glass beads for the embelishment and some ribbons to finish off.

Just Typical!

I only used this georgous birdy from Tim Holtz yesterday on this pendant I made! Then I find out this morning Tim has used it on his #2 Christmas tag! (Another improvise come on then!)
The pendant is one of the wooden hearts I have been making Christmas decs from (I pulled out the string and added an 'eye' screwy thingy in the top). Stamped a flourish from Paper Artsy in black archival on the left side and added the bird and the flower with silicon, the key is just free on the throng.
Attached on the bottom with another 'eye' thingy is 3 small and 1 larger crystal beads.
Around the edge of the heart I rubbed a small amount of Incagold in green.

Tims Christmas Tag #1

Here is my tag!
I don't have the house die or the picket fence die from Tim so I cut my own.
the house was just cut free hand in grunge paper and the fence is wood veneer cut into pieces and assembled using glossy accents and painted with dabbers and glittered. I also made the wreath from hand made paper and the berries are Claudines Studio paints (red) blobbed on with a ball embossing tip.
