Tim Holtz 12 Tags of 2016 - March

Howdy. I have an Easter tag for you this month. It is my version of the Tim Holtz tag for March 2016. I went for a brighter palette for my tag. Since I do not yet have the Distress Crayons, I used the four Gelatos that I own but never use. I discovered that this type of medium is cool. I was kind of on the fence about the Distress Crayons before, but now I NEED THEM!

I hope you are inspired, and enjoy my tag. Peace.

Tim Holtz 12 Tags of 2016 - February

Hello world. Here is my version of the Tim Holtz Tag for February 2016. After giving it a first attempt with Tim's brown palette, I decided I wanted a LOT more PINK on mine! I used spun sugar, picked raspberry, and candied apple distress inks, and also used some fired brick distress glitter.

I enjoyed making this tag, and I hope you like it too! Peace.

Tim Holtz 12 Tags of 2016 - January

Hello! Here I am again, getting my tag done at the last minute. Yikes! I will do better from now on! This month's tag revisits two previous techniques, and happens to include one of my very favorites: Industrious Metal. It is so easy and looks so cool! Since I am so late, I will cut to the chase and show you my version.

Tim Holtz 12 Tags of 2015 - December

Hi and Happy Holidays and all that! This month I made my tag with PLENTY of time left - 8 hours left in the month (and the year, for that matter)! HA!

I do not own the greenery punches, so I cut 2 of the laurel wreaths from the Sizzix Alterations Regal Crest die with watercolor paper that I colored with Distress Stain in Pine Needles and Mowed Lawn. I also used the bow from the Sizzix Alterations Packages and Bows die.

This tag came together really easy and it was fun to make. I really love the look of the spray stain-stenciled background on the burlap. Thanks to Tim, as always, for the inspiration!

Peace.

Tim Holtz 12 Tags of 2015 - November

Hello! Yes, it is the very last day of November and I have just finished my November tag. This has to be a new record for me, both in terms of waiting until the last moment and completeing a tag in a really short period of time! Wowza. If you would like to see the inspiration behind the perspiration, you are encouraged to look here: http://timholtz.com/12-tags-of-2015-november/

At any rate, without further ado, here is my version.

Peace.

Tim Holtz 12 Tags of 2015 - October

Hi and welcome. This month, Tim Holtz highlighted his new Zombie die and created a cute and scary tag. The focus for this month is on creating dimension and using the tried-and-true "wrinkle-free distress" technique.

Since I do not have the Zombie die, I created a Halloween scene using 5 different Sizzix dies: Crescent Moon and Stars, Holly Branch, Mini Acorn & Pumpkin, Mini Cat & Raven, and Pumpkins #2.

Tim Holtz 12 Tags of 2015 - September

Hello. The tag for September 2015 is quite nice. It was great fun to make and contains many interesting layers. If I had seen it without the instructions, I would have probably thought "How did he do THAT?" I amazed myself when it was all done. Hence, the sentiment that I chose: "Amaze Yourself." These are good words to ponder every now and then, I suppose.
