So my April tag #2 again looks quite different compared to Tim's original according to the colours. But this time I tried to incorporate wings and his design.
After doing some layers of marbelizing with Distress paints, covering that with a layer of Distress inks and flicking some water onto it I got this background:
As I used light colours I added silver metal paint instead of copper... I am really proud that this time you could (finally!!) see the effect of that second stained distress ink layer! (even though most of it was going to be covered up anyway...*lol).
I used a lot of Tim Holtz goodness on this - stamps, embellishments, tissue tape...
As I had no metal corner embellishment I stamped the corner image from one of Tim's stamp sets onto acetate and fixed that to the tag using an attacher.
The letter "a" was coloured using the technique Tim shows on his April post but I also used the scratching tool on it to add some texture.
The tag hole for the ribbon was embellished using one of the Tim Holtz ring fasteners and I especially do love the tag label in the upper right corner!!!
I hope you like this one too! :)
With this tag I enter Simon Says Stamp and Show's "very strict" challenge.

I do! Even more than the first, I think! Love that butterfly, and I think the stamped acetate corner is a really clever improvisation - great work!

ReplyDeleteI also do!! I could pretty much write the same as Alison, I totally adore the background on this one too and there is plenty of it that still shows up! Great second take and well done you giving it a second go!
ReplyDeleteWow this is amazing - and I love it (just a bit more then the first Tag).
ReplyDeleteYou got all elements of the inspiration from TH in it, but you created much more depth and drama. Just your own way - that is what I love most!
Yeap, I love it! It is very spectacular!

ReplyDeleteOH MY GOSH! I LOVE LOVE this tag! That background is MAGIC! I love it! All of the black stamping and color you have added through tissue tape, stamping and metal elements is THE PERFECT color to have used on that background. I love your dimensional butterfly.
