June 2013 Tag Inspired by Tim Holtz
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

Princess Dresses
I LoVe garage sales ... Last week I peeked inside a grocery bag at a sale and saw glittery fabric; sure I could use that fabric in a project I added it to my pile of treasures (I got the bag for free). At home I discovered seven little costumes - all wet, dirty, and torn. The first order of business was laundry. They cleaned up not bad - so I ironed them and identified the repairs required. Some parts had to be removed, others were salvageable, and they all needed a little bling. I starched the outside materials, rebuilt wings, made ribbon flowers, added lace, ribbon, glitter and sequins and sewed and glued and ..... ta da - here's pictures of the dresses. (I regret not having taken any "before" pics).
Some little girls are going to be very happy to get this little bundle.
Enjoy your crafting!!
