June 2013 Tag Inspired by Tim Holtz

junetag

Love, love, love this "colour it" tag using distress markers.  Tim included a lot of tips and tricks for using the markers in his tag demo this month.  The background is a mixture of stains, inks and paint - gorgeous!.

The technique is to stamp an image on watercolour paper, colour and blend it with distress markers, then attach it to the coloured tag that is stamped with various images.  I added a spray of Perfect Pearls to finish it off!

Here's my colourful creation (reminds me of our flower garden) ......


Happy crafting :D

    2. I've avoided Dylusions because I'm not a big fan of such strong colors, but that one... MUST HAVE!

  5. Perfect Pearls and I don't get on very well but you seem to have it mastered; your tag looks fabulous. Well done!

    1. thanks Cath - I find Perfect Pearls works well on darker colours, combined with the grey shading these butterflies appear to be fluttering off the paper.
