Tim Holtz March Tag

Here is my March tag for

The 12 tags of 2015

on the Tim Holtz Blog.

For the original and all the

technique explanations go HERE.

So here is my tag with one of the new

bird stamps that came out recently:

Bird Crazy CMS212

I started out making the background like

Tim showed,only using the musical

washi tape,because that goes better with the

bird whistling a tune.

Using the woodgrain stencil with

the texture paste and gold embossing

powder for a tree effect.

Here a close up. I thought the bird needed

a little more color, so I used the white distress marker 

to color the eyes and marigold and lemon markers

for the body with some extra drops of water.

So now for the embellishments.

I cut the word tweet out of red paper and

added glossy accent for a little more dimention.

The birdsnest is made with some hemp rope

glued together and 3 sticky pearls.

At the bottom of the tag I stapled the fluffy roses

from Tim's Lavish Trimmings. First I colored

it with cracked pistachio and marigold distress paint. 

Hope you like my take on Tim'stag.

Thanks for stopping by.

Have a creative day!
