I just finished up my project based on the January 2014 Tim Holtz tag. Honesty, I was so uninspired by his tag this month that I considered not bothering. But, it’s always an interesting challenge, so I went for it.
The Spellbinders Cuckoo Clock Die
The roof trim and other bits were colored with Stream, Meadow, Sailboat Blue and Lettuce alcohol inks. If I had to do it over I’d use a much more subtle background texture, like with a stencil.
A Game Spinner and a Dymo label add some interesting detail.
Hope you’re finding a little bit of time this weekend to be creative. 🙂
Now that’s adorable. I like the colors a lot better than the gray on Tim’s example. Also, your sentiment makes a lot more sense. I appreciate the product links, because I may have to get that steampunk embossing folder. 🙂
Thanks, Robin. Yes, I felt it definitely needed color. Some things work well all in blacks & grays, but I didn’t think that did.
And, yeah, I am SO not into inane sentiments, but you knew that. 🙂
LOVE the color, and the clock is amazing!!!
Great interpretation – Love the cuckoo clock! You were inspired after all 😉
Awwww, you’re too kind, Helen, thanks.
