Tim Holtz 12 Tags of 2016 - May

 

Hello everyone, I also managed to create the Tim Holtz 12 Tags of 2016 May Tag. And I had so fun to do so. It's always great to try out new techniques. This time I didn't only made one, but two tags. I weren't able to decide which stamp I should use for the tissue resist technique. So I made both. I really like both and cannot say which one I like more.

Below you can see close ups of my tags... I was able to use some stash as I stil had those selfmade paper flowers made with different papers. I just sprayed them with the same colors I used for my tags to make them matching. Also the two butterflies were lying around a while. The look great on those tags I think.

 

Thank you so much for your visit. I wish you a happy weekend.

Hugs, Karina

Tim Holtz 12 Tags of 2016 - April

After I missed the March tag I am here again with Tim Holtz 12 Tags of 2016 challenge for April. I love this new technique combo and had so much fun to create this tag. Although the background didn't turn out as I wanted it to. But all in all I like the result. I am especially happy with the shopping angel doll. And I really love the mosaic effect.

Although I missed March I am planning to still create the March technique mix as I want to make all 12 tags this year. It's so challenging and so great to learn (for me) new techniques. I have to think more out of the box and not just copy what Tim Holtz shows us. It's not that easy when you're new to Mixed Media. But with each try it works better. I already look forward what he will bring for May.

 Some close ups below...

Thank you so much for your visit.
Have a happy day!

Tim Holtz 12 Tags of 2016 - February

 

Hello and happy Sunday! Great to see you here. Finally on Friday my ordered goodies arrived I need for the new project for the Tim Holtz 12 Tags of 2016 challenge. So I was able to create this new tag for February in time. Here is how it looks like. I quite like how it turned out. One of the techniques was new to me; to add embossing powder to structure paste. I love the effect it gives. As it was the first time I tried it our it definitely is improvable :-). But I am fine with the result.

And some close ups of my February tag...

 

 I look forward to see what the March tag will be. It's so much fun to make them. I really don't know why I haven't joined the past years yet.

Have a happy day.

Tim Holtz 12 Tags of 2016 - January

Hello everyone, I discovered that I also have lots of fun to create projects without colored images. I am an admirer of all the Tim Holtz project seeing around. And noticed a while ago the Tim Holtz '12 tags of 2016' challenge and decided to get myself challenged and join them. It's great to learn new techniques and I am fascinated how all the projects of the participants turned out. Although all use the same techniques each one is so special and unique. I just finished my project today and am quite happy how it turned out, being aware that it's all new to me.

I so love the Industrial Metal Technique. It gives such an amazing touch. It was so much fun to emboss and to color it, but less fun how my fingers looked like afterwards :-)

 I used a stamp I have already since a while but never used before. I love this image and thought it is perfect for my first tag. 

 And another close up of the little key I added... I thought it would be a perfect to my project.

I hope you liked my fist tag as much as I do. Thank you so much for your visit here.

Have a happy day!

Hugs, Karina
