Tim Holtz - 12 Tags a Year - July 2012

Hi Everyone!

Today I have a quick post to share it's my Tag for July from Tim Holtz 12 tags of 2012  of July! I used the 4th of July theme like in TIm's tag and also tried his cool technique with the ink and compressed air. He made it look easy... I had a few tries before I got something I was happy with.  Here' Tim's tag...


and here's what I came up with ...



I loved this stampset, it's a retired set from Stampin'Up! And have not used it yet so this was a perfect opportunity to break it out!

This was such a fun project I used glossy paper and I am using regular re-inkers dye ink. I think Tim used alchohol inks. But still a cool effect . I cut a Primitive star out first and than cut the Tag out the other half - so I could put it back together kind of like a puzzle! I added grommet hardware in the opening at the top of my tag, and hung a bell (that's my Liberty bell!)

That's it for now...  have a great weekend!

Totally fun! Love how you have the colors running off the star and onto the tag.
