I love this color combo of different colorful colors. It's really catch the eyes of such great contra colors.

 

With the use of the Distress Glitter, the problems that I got was difficult to clean up my desk after use of distress Glitter. The glitter is really dusty but I like it.

Tim Holtz - 12 tags of 2013 (August 2013)

 

 

I love the color combo of pumice stone and frayed burlap. I seldom to use this and it looked really vintage effect. I color the train ticket' stamp with  Barn Door and Walnut Stain distress markers.

It is really a easy and wonderful technique to using the mask sheet to protect the image. I used it on the train and make it be the top layer. 

 

As I haven't got the "Tim Holtz - Idea-ology - Word Bands".  Therefore, I make the same background color sheet, stamped and cut on it by using the rubber stamp - Tim Holtz Cling Rubber Stamps 2013 SIMPLE SAYINGS. I used the 3D foam to make it more top layer.

Tim Holtz - 12 tags of 2013 (July 2013)

 

 Here is Tim's tag for Jul 13. It's really nice. I love the crackle paint. It create texture on the chipboard. As I haven't got the Flag die and the stars. I change to prepare my tag as below.

 

 

Hong Kong is in summer and always get 32 high temperature here. I just want something to feel cool. So I choose the fan and the blue color. It's seem bring a little feel cool for me.

 

I always color the chipboard before applying the crackle paint. But this time, the demo show vice versa. It's seems good which do not change the color effect.

Tags of 2013 - June 13

 

Time really flies, a few days later, Year 2013 has been over a half.

This Tim Holtz's inspiration tags for June 13 is mainly focus on using the Distress Marker.

 

I really like this markers with water effects.

It helps to blend the colors and look much more soft.

 

 

Have you ever try using three different "distress family " ink to create the base color of a tag.

It's really funny to see the different effect with water together.

I use the previous book stamp to creat the base pattern as well.

 



Besides, I have made a simple test on different kind of markers on my hand.

 

 

This come result in different effects on the stamping paper.

I do not have talent on coloring. ( I should more practice on that! Practice make perfect)

The Distress marker is the easiest to handle against the other two.

But of course, there is limited color choices compared with Copic.

SpectrumNori is price comparatively and good to the new crafters.

 

Enjoy papercrafting!!

5. Stamping the image

 

Embellishments part of the tag:
