Parting is such sweet sorrow....that is how I feel about the 2012 Tim Tags ending. He posted the December and January tags together, but I am doing them in separate posts. Here is my December tag.
 |
| Is it possible to be in love with a background??? I am in love with this tags background...I want it as my wall. Okay, I am planning my wall all out already...just you wait! Anyway, I glued torn pieces of Composer Tissue Wrap onto my tags with Glue N Seal. |
 |
| I used my three favorite colors of Distress Stain (Aged Mahogany, Barn Door, and Tarnished Brass) to do Tim's technique for Marbled and Blended Stains. |
 |
| I had enough wet goodness on my craft sheet to stain three extra pink tags. FUN! |
 |
| I used the most wonderful metallic thread from Tinsel Trading to sew around the tag borders. Let's sing together now...I'm in love I'm in love I'm in love I'm in love I'm INNN love...sorry, back to my BTO days! |
 |
| Don't get sentimental on me now, but this is left over lace from my wedding dress make oh so long ago. I still have a couple of yards left. I adhered it to Wendy's Clearly for Art Whiteout. Oh so pretty. |
 |
| Using the Sizzix Tattered Poinsettia Die, I cut three out. |
 |
| A little heat, Distress Stain, and Distress Ink and viola! Love Tim's die! Golden Rod and Antique Linen Distress Stickles finished the edges and center. |
 |
| More die cutting, Staining, and inking. I love the words on this die. I Stained the flourish with Tarnished Brass and applied Antique Linen Distress Stickles to it as well. I traced around the sentiment with Krylon Gold Paint Pen and adhered it to an inked Journal Ticket. I used Alcohol Ink to color a sentiment paperclip to adorn the ticket. |
 |
| Grunge Paper makes the greatest Star bursts. I covered these with more lace, then Antique Linen Stain, and then Rock Candy Crackle Paint, followed by Krylon Gold Ink Pen, and finally Stickles. Phew! What a star! Everything was adhered and a more Tinsel Trading goodness finished the tag. |
I am also submitting this to Simon Says Stamp & Show's challenge of "Inspired By Tim's 12 Tags", and Unruly Paper Arts Reader Art Quest 1 for "Use 4 Patterns", and to my old haunt Our Creative Corner for "One Stitch At A Time"...love those ladies!
