April 2013 Tag

My Tim Holtz April 2013 Tag

Slightly modified.

To me this was a study of dragonflies

so would be neat if a real dragonfly landed on it.

I added the gears stamp 

and used one of Tim's 

metal numbers.

Ignore the tag in the back,

I've got to collage it up some how

because I broke an important rule

in stamping:

I did not stamp on a flat surface.  Eeek! :)

For the wings,

I stamped it on the clear packaging for

the new Tim Holtz picture wheel die I just got.

It worked really well.

Twill ribbon was used which I 

tried to distress with paint and ink.

Will have to pick up some of that

krinkle ribbon next time at Michaels.

Thanks for looking!

My first WOYWW

I've been a fan (lurker :)   of the Stamping Ground's "What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday" for quite a while and I love seeing other crafter's and artist's work spaces.  This is my first share and so I thank you for stopping by.

It almost took a whole month but I finally gathered up most of the distress paint supplies. So today I was determined to get started trying out the patina look from the Tim Holtz April 2013 tag. I love the way these new metallic distress paints react with water. With luck, I hope to finish this tag within what's left of this month.  LOL :)
