Since the months go by so quickly, right after Halloween I decided to get a jump on November’s Tim Holtz Tag of 2012. Of course, days and weeks being what they are, it’s now November 15th already, the middle of the month, sheesh, dunno how that happens…
Is it me or do Tim’s tags seem to be getting simpler these past few months? Of course, they’re wonderful as always, but I keep feeling like I need to add more “stuff,” you know? Like some leaf charms or something up by the ribbons? Hmmmm….
Since I don’t have the “Thankful” stamp he used. I used Tim’s Grunge Alphabet
The wheat was embossed with the Hero Arts Silhouette Grass stamp. Interesting technique of Tim’s, to remove embossing powder by ironing over it with newsprint. Did you know this is also how to remove spilled candle wax from linens? Good thing to know with the holiday season coming up. 🙂
The Tattered Pine Cone die is very cool. I love how it can do these pine cones or give the look of dried roses. I’m kinda wishing I’d made them from a lighter color, these seem rather dark and boring. Oh, well, they’re too much work to do again.
Wild Honey is definitely one of my favorites in the new line of colors (also in Wild Honey Distress Stain.) It just seems to pop and accent whatever colors are around it.
I may just make this tag into a card for our Thanksgiving hostess. All that has to be done is add it to a card and make it say “So ‘Thankful’ For You”. If I do, I’ll try to remember to update this post with a pic.
Happy creating, ya’ll!
Surprise! I have a new favorite tag. As usual, I like yours better than Tim’s, particularly the lettering. Yes, I am thankful. 🙂
It’s always the latest that seems to be our favorite, eh? Dunno that this is one of my personal favs, but it’s done.
I love how you made your sentiment with tiles made from the alpha stamp. I pick this stamp up and wonder if I should buy it but it always escapes me how I will use it, and yet now it seems so obvious. Duh! It’s just one of those stamps I never get to see anyone using. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Theresa, Thanks for stopping by!
Actually, I think the only reason I picked up that stamp was that I saw Tim Holtz use it the same way, cutting out individual letter tiles. It seemed like it would be great for scrapbook titles.
Happy creating!
