Tim Holtz August tag: Dragon Fly

After all the Creative Chemistry

it is now time to make mAugust tag for 

the 12 tags of 2016 on Tim's Blog.

This is also the place were you can find all 

the technique tips on making this tag.

Here is my tag and this time I used stamps 

from ART NEKO.

I love the more brighter colors that I chose this time.

For the background of this tag, 

festive berries and mustered seed 

distress stains are the colored.

On top a Asian text stamp with archival black.

Then with vintage photo and

waterdrops the background is finished.

After die cutting the honeycomb from a piece of 

bookboard (and colored with festive berries stain)

these Asian papers were also die cut with the honeycomb

die. This time the insides are used and distressed with

vintage photo distress ink.

On top you see the dragonflies.

They are embossed with Judy Kinns Chamaleon

embossing powder. This gives a blue glow and

that is exactly what you see when they fly around you.

As a text i used a poem that you can find here.

Stamped with archival black and  cut into lines.

Finished of with a little sewing after punching some holes.

Thank you for looking

and have a creative day!
