Tag 9

I have had to hold off uploading as I was behind in making this one - and it's barely dry ATM. didn't quite come out like Tim's but the el cheapo blue cardstock now looks more like leather! The star has Crystallina Glitter over it. The leaves are the alcohol ink ones that Tim showed in tag 7 and just seemed to be perfect for this tag   

Tag #8

I am slowly getting there. And I have to say I'm enjoying this year's tags (I'm better prepared which helps. I was lucky with this one as I just seemed to have everything on hand to help - and I really can't live without my Glossy Accents - much better than DM I have to say. The tiny dove is actually a dark green, while the nib is actually a sticker from a sheet that I'd used for a friend's 60th. The hand I'm not overly impressed with (operator erroe) and it looks like they've been out gardening!

Tag #7

Things got busy there for a bit - but I'm back on track with these wonderful tags. I thought I'd made tag 7 yesterday - only to discover that I'd got ahead of myself and made number 10.

I did enjoy making this one - and took a fellow crafter's advice to make sure the leaves were dark enough to stand out. No glassine but heavy vellum worked just as well

Tag #5

I might have to try this one again one day - not sure I'm with the metallic paper concept - I used alfoil glued to cardstock. And the EP was called Bridal Tinsel - a friend gave it to me,

Tag #4

OK so I'm a little out of order here. I had to go get some rock candy crackle and some glossy accents first. I was also lucky enough to get the snowman shape from the lovely ladies at Scrapbook_Shenanigans - hope you ladies like how she ended up - I decided it was a she snow person.

The snowflake in the top corner came from a friend in Nebraska - sot it was all very global really. Not 100%like Tim's but I'm happy with it - learnt heaps on this one - my purple fingers are proof!

tag #6

I've skipped tag 4 for the moment - it needs glossy accents or similar and I simply cannot live without the stuff. I pick up my order tomorrow afternoon. :D

This looked fairly easy - but there must be some basic difference property difference between Archival ink and Stazon as I couldn't really get the ink and alcohol ink to lift. Then again it could be because of our warmer weather - and the ink dries fast. My first stamp wasn't going to work so I went hunting and found a tartan stamp - unused I confess!! - and took it from there. I think it actually looks like a door (the background paper is some gold from a box from my stash). The wreath is simply tinsel wrapped around a jump ring. I've learnt that I shouldn't try and blindly follow Tim's interpretation but go with what I have here and my gut feeling. I know Tim that's what you said on day one!

Tag #3

This one took a bit of time for me to get my head around - not having a thing that Tim suggested! In the end I put my tag through the Divine Swirls folder, then silver heat embossed - exactly like I did with the word Joy (UMS).


I then stamped and cut out two leaves, used a paper flower and added two red half pearls. Finished it off with a large snowflake. What do you think?
