12 Tags of 2014 - July

Again, it's the end of the month, and I am just posting my tag! Phew, the summer has flown by hasn't it?!! Here is my July tag for Tim Holtz's 12 Tags of 2014. 

I followed all of Tim's steps, and just added a few different things to my tag...like stamping on the background, cutting apart my embossed plastic, and adding a few more dies. Didn't you just love the sand technique?!! That Tim is a genius! That's one technique I'll use over and over.

I stamped some of Wendy's swirls in Distress Ink.

Then I stamped some Wendy fish in Ranger Archival Ink.

I used the Waves Texture Fade, and cut them apart to make it look like the water was moving??? This is a cool embossed image...love this Texture Fade!

After I diecut everything, I wanted one more shell, so I used packaging from one of Tim's goods, painted it with Distress Paint, and then stamped the image in Jet Black. I love how it came out.
