Happy What’s on Your Workdesk Wednesday and the first full day of autumn! (Or happy spring to  my friends in the southern hemisphere.) 🙂

Today’s workdesk shows quite the array of supplies needed for Tim Holtz’s September  tag.

I was happy to try my new Bird Feather  stamp set, as I didn’t have it when he used it on his tag back in March.

Not sure that I’m thrilled with that egg floating in mid air, although I do like the effect of the solid stamp plus the speckles stamp.

The technique of using Alcohol Blending Solution with the Burlap Stencil to create a ghosted image is cool, although mine didn’t work out the way he said. I had to go back in with the blending solution over the stencil after adding Butterscotch alcohol ink to the card.

The leaves were colored with all different alcohol inks, including a bit of Gold Mixative, and then cut from the Autumn Gatherings Sizzix Sizzlits Die.

The colors in this card are kind of schizophrenic, as it doesn’t know whether it wants to be spring or fall. Which is, I suppose, true to how I was feeling while I worked on it. 🙂

So now I’ve shown you mine, show us yours. We have lots of fun peeking at creative desks from all over the world at the blog link party at Julia’s

Happy creating!

  1. I agree with you about the egg, but the rest of the piece is lovely. The colours are gorgeous. Have a great week, Chris # 14

  2. Oh, yes, I love the leaves. I may try that on something. At first I was worried that the egg was about to go all Humpty Dumpty, but it’s got a nice pile to land on, so that’s all good. 😀

    1. Ah, you make a good point. Now that I look at it that way, it does seem like the egg is ready to drop right into that pile of leaves.

      Why? I have no idea. But there you have it.

  3. Love your card and the way you used the alcohol inks. I’m starting to use mine again for different projects along the way. Have a great rest of the week!

    1. Yeah, the ghosted look is pretty cool. I’m not sure why mine didn’t work out the way he said, but it worked out in the end. 🙂

  4. I think it looks fantastic and I like how you have created it. I don’t even know what tim,s tag is like I haven’t had time to even look. Keep up the good work and have fun.

    Thanks for visiting already
