I decided to start as I imagined Tim to start; with a festive Starbucks!
This is my interpretation of it
But I did follow the techniques in my own way. What I enjoy about the tags is being creative with my supplies so I coloured my base tag with stormy sky distress ink and embossed with one of Tim's flourish folders. I'd used the technique before but not with white powder and I love the way it turned out. I cut my Noel freehand and glittered with blue glitter.
Instead of using different coloured card I coloured a card with various distress inks before cutting out the foliage.
I used real pine cones and some pearl brads and an old earring at the top. The organza ribbon was coloured with distress ink too.
Here's some of the detail
Have fun everyone and if you are joining in with the magic I look forward to seeing your on his blog too.
All stunning! Love your interpretation of Tim's work!
ReplyDeleteWow, you are quick off the mark! This is a great interpretation of it!
ReplyDeleteOh..my... your tag is amazing...love it ♥
ReplyDeleteWTG you - quick off the mark indeed! Yours looks fab, and now I'm inspired to not worry that I have very little TH stash - although my purse finger is itching now... LOL
ReplyDeleteGreat tag! I love your spin on it. Fun idea to use real pine cones!
ReplyDeleteGreat tags. Like you, the only thing die I have is the foliage one, and I also have some tiny pine cones, real ones, I am hoping to use. Will have to be inventive !
ReplyDeleteHave fun with all the 12 tags.

All gorgeous tags, Neil, and I'm more than a little impressed that you cut the 'Noel' freehand - I'd never dare! Like the colouring of the card before cutting out the leaves. Off to peak at TH's label, but yours is stunning. Elizabeth
