12 tags of 2015 november

This is my take on Tim's 12 tags of 2015 november

Used Salty Ocean paint on the background stamp for the resist and sprayed Fossilized Amber&Twisted Citron over it.
Sponged with Ground Espresso inkpad.
For the gold accents around the edges I first sprayed Tarnished Brass on my fingers, wiped a bit on the tag, then put gold paint over it with an old creditcard.

12 tags of 2015 - july

Here is my take on Tim's tags of 2015 - july.

No 4th of july in The Netherlands, but the colours of our flag are red, white & blue, so I took those colours and I chose for the theme Da Vinci.

Just purchised the hickory smoke distress pad last week, so I am glad I can use it on this tag.

Still am not happy that the fired brick marker has a brownish colour, it is so different than the inkpad, but what can you do...
That's why the ribbon doesn't have that touch of red, but then again I could have used the festive berries (thought came in mind after I finished colouring).

My version of Tim's tags of 2015 - June

Now it is finished I noticed the text stamp is all wrong.
It should say Mon coeur est en Paris.
Better throw it in the bin.... the stamp I mean :-)

Made the custom blend with Tumbled Glass/Peacock Feathers/Faded Jeans.

I wrinkled tissuetape, distress paints, distress stains in a mini mister with some water for the background.
Painted black gesso through a stencil for the 5 and covered with glossy accents and glitters.
Used rub-ons and a Sakura Gold pen-touch for the letters.
With a brush I spattered white gesso and for the gold accents I used the Sakura pen.

The Colours of Autumn

A Vintage Journey: Challenge 15 - The Colours of Autumn.

I started with a variety of yellow, orange, red, green, brown distress inks on the craftsheet, spritzed water and dragged the paper through it.
Dried with heattool, then wet my hand and flicked some water on.
Stamped the leaves with peeled paint and rusty hinge, cut out, sponged with scattered straw and coloured the edges.
Stamped the trees with gathered twigs distress ink.
Used a mini stapler for the ruler ribbon and glued the leaves on top of it.
Cut out some words ('distressables') and glued them at the bottom.

A little touch of Tim

On a Vintage Journey challenge 13 is to use Tim's products an/or inspiration to create atc's.

I started to create a background with Distress Paint Broken China and Distress Stain Antiqued Bronze.
Spritzed water and dried with heattool.
Then cut the paper in 3 pieces a tiny bit smaller than atc's because I wanted to mount them on Kraft cardstock.
Put some tissue paper on, distressed the edges and darkened them.
Sponged ink over honeycomb stencil. When dry, put some Vintage Photo ink and Distress Embossingpowder on various places and heatembossed.
Assembled bits and pieces (salvage stickers, distressables, chit-chat, filmstrip, tiny paperclips etc ) and made a collage.
