The April tag really gave me some hard times... Distress paints and I will definitely never become best friends - that's for sure ....even though I really love that marbelizing and in the end I managed at least to create one tag that did not go to the bin instantly...
Well, I made the resolution to do all 12 tags of 2013 and I will stick to it!
I also have no alpha parts or "clearly for art" to stamp on, so I used some acetate from packaging material, which I fixed to the tag with some Tim Holtz tissue tape.
Ageing the clock face with Distress paints went quite well... but I will have to practice a lot until I find the results satisfying.
The stamps I used (due to the lack of that lovely dragonfly stamp) are once more mainly from the fabulous new "Time Travelers" stamp set (which I also used for this 3D pop up card)! I LOVE IT! In the end my tag turned out very, VERY different to Tim's April tag... but I enter it anyway...
"The most important thing is not to win but to take part!" (De Coubertin) ;)
For a finish I coloured some of the areas within the images white to add some contrast and depth. Done.
I enter SSSS's "very strict challenge" and Out of a hat creation's "Faces" challenge with this tag.
Thank you for stopping by!!!

WOW! Your steampunk card is very cool! I love Tim's new stamp sets and you have really done them justice on this tag. Love the patina look on some of your elements. Very nice design! Thanks so much for sharing your tag with us at Simon Says Stamp and Show. <3 Candy

boah ist das toll !!!! besonders die weißen Akzente bei dem Mann sind sehr gut gesetzt. klasse
ReplyDeleteWOW! It's wonderful! :)
ReplyDeleteWell I love your interpretation of sir Tim's original! The colours are great and I love how you have just improvised and made your own original version! Isn't it funny how Tim makes it all look so easy and then when you try it yourself, it is never quite the same? Have to say, I am not convinced about the paints either yet. They seem to work great on the metal bits though, love how your clock face turned out!!
ReplyDeleteVery Nice :)
