Tim Holtz April Tag: King

Here is my April tag for Tim Holtz

12 tags of 2013.

Of course I gave it my own twist,

but using Tim's creative ideas

and techniques.

If you have been following my blog,

you know we have a special day tomorrow

in The Netherlands: the inauguration

of the new King Willem-Alexander.

A very big happening for our country.

So I gave the tag an orange metallic look.

Yes orange is the main color you will see

tomorrow. Everyone will be dressed

in orange tshirts,coats, hats, shawl, jeans.

It will be a colorful day!

So my tag is titled:

Time to be the King

On top you see the clock and the hand of the

clock is pointing towards the "W"coin

on the ribbon. The "W" is the first letter

of the new King's name.

The lions on both sides are stamped on

transparant plastic,so I could flip the

lion on the other side. The are both staples

to the tag (covered by the clock.

The 2 is on of Tim's metal numbers

c0vered with bronze, rusty hinges and

mustered seed distress paint.

The word is stamped on kraft paper

and made into a tag.

The crown is out of grunge paper,

covered with the same distress paint as

the tag and added  a little mahogany.

On top a few sticky orange gemstones.

Underneath the crown I used a few

tiles from a scrabble game

painted with distress gold paint.

For all the technique instructions

on how to work with the distress paint,

take a look at Tim's blog:
