Hi!
Today, Tim Holtz posted that he was going to break from tradition. Usually, he does a program called "12 Tags of Christmas", a treat that we Tim-fans eagerly look forward to every year. But this year, he decided to do the "12 Tags of 2012" instead, creating a tag every month to celebrate different holidays throughout the year.
I had plans to work on some altered canvases tonight - which I did - sort of. I started them. Then....I couldn't help myself. I had to do the Tim tag. I'm not much for tags - don't use them for anything, so I made mine into a card.
Tim has a place for his followers to post these projects on his blog. (He's nice like that. :) ) I'll be posting mine over there when I'm done here. For your viewing pleasure....
I started with a piece of white cardstock the same size as the front of the card and ran it through the Vagabond to produce the embossed heart background. I inked the background with Fired Brick Distress Ink and darkened the edges with Walnut Stain Distress Ink. Then, I painted the raised hearts with some white acrylic paint.
The ruffled calligraphy print is Tim Holtz Tissue Tape. It's sticky, so it's very easy to form it into a ruffled effect. The rose started out as ordinary white tissue paper. The tissue paper was colored with a Copic Marker, cut, shaped into a flower and hot glued onto the card. The leaves are made of while vellum, colored with a Copic Marker. The heart is chipboard, painted white, and glittered with a mixture of two of Martha Stewart's glitters - garnet and brownstone. The ribbon was white ribbon I colored with the same Copic marker as the rose. I put together the beads from some jewelry findings I have and attached them to a card with one of Tim Holtz's trinket pins. Finally, I stamped the tag and inked it with Walnut Stain Distress Ink.
