Tim Holtz 12 Tags of 2014 - September

Another month is coming to an end, October starts next week. Time to share my project inspired by this month's tag on Tim's blog.

Tim is such a good teacher so I just followed his steps and I have never had so much fun with alcohol inks. I love this image of a young woman's face that I ended up using on my tag, such a beautiful stamp. Oh and I have a couple dozen extra butterflies for another project! Thanks for stopping by!

#CC3C - Effect Powders

I'm getting this post in at the last minute for the Compendium of Curiosities 3, Challenge 11. All the details are on the lovely Linda Ledbetter's blog and this challenge is being sponsored by Inspiration Emporium.

It's officially Fall and the trees are full of color here in Minnesota. For this challenge I decided that I wanted to make a window card. This is a series of cards that I've created that include a cabinet card frame as the base, corrugated cardstock and a window. I started by die cutting the window from chipboard and then followed the technique instructions on page 52 of Tim's book. Next I cut a bunch of mini branches from kraft-core cardstock and used them to form a wreath. The leaves were cut from manila cardstock then colored with distress inks. Lastly I embossed the edges of the leaves with vintage photo and adhered them to the wreath. Thanks for stopping by!

#CC3C - Assemblage Clock

Boy that 2 weeks went by fast! I just finished my entry for Challenge 10, hop over to Linda Ledbetter's blog for all the details. The Funkie Junkie Boutique is sponsoring this challenge with a $25 shopping spree for one lucky CC3Cer!

First thing I did was turn to page 33 of my copy of A Compendium of Curiosities Volume 3 to check out Tim's technique. Once I had my background created I applied Mushroom Alcohol Ink to the entire clock. Next I die-cut the headstone from Grungeboard using one of the Artful Dwellings Dies and then applied a coat of Brushed Pewter Distress Crackle Paint. When it was dry I added a bit of aging with Distress Stain and Paint. I used a Industrious Sticker to frame a picture of a elderly gentleman from the Laboratorie Paper Stash and added the date of his untimely death using Remnant Rubs. For the leaves I die-cut a couple dozen from Kraft Glassine and folded them to create the veins. I took a picture of my finished clock without the glass but then reinstalled it so the leaves can move around freely inside, I guess you could call it a shaker clock! Thanks for stopping by!

#CC3C - Stamps & Framelits

Today's post is for the Compendium of Curiosities 3 Challenge. Check out the lovely Linda Ledbetter's blog for all the details. The sponsor for Challenge #9 is Inspiration Emporium. One lucky entry will receive a $50 gift certificate for their store.

I began by checking out Tim's technique on page 63 of his book. I only have one of his cling rubber stamp sets with matching Framelits dies. Following Tim's technique I completed the tree and added some ornaments that I applied Remnant Rubs to. At this point I decided to create a window card. This is a series of cards that I've created using a Cabinet Card Frame as the base, corrugated cardstock and a die cut window. So here is my first Christmas card of the year. Thanks for stopping by!

I just completed my entry for Challenge #8! There's still time to play along, check out Linda Ledbetter's blog for all the details. The sponsor for this challenge is The Funkie Junkie Boutique, one lucky player will be randomly selected to receive a $25 shopping spree.

The faded layers technique is on page 58 of Tim's book, A Compendium of Curiosities Volume 3. This is a new technique for me. I started by experimenting with a variety of colors on numerous pieces of cardstock. Once I decided what I was going to create I used Tim's technique on the background. I also used some of the other pieces of colored cardstock for the sea horse, seashell and greenery. Thanks for stopping by!
