Tag #11 - Tim Holtz 12 Tags of 2016

Holy Heck!! I don't think I have cut it this close in the previous 10 months!! BUT....I made it...barely!! 

Tim Holtz 12 Tags of 2016 - November Remix!

And I know you're all thinking, here comes another Christmas project, but NO, I had no rub ons of any kind that were wintery, Christmasy, or autumny!! I only had some that were...BEACHY!! So this is how it went!

I had coloured rub ons that were beachy and had gotten the tropical dies awhile ago, so it had to be a beachy tropical tag this month!

Yay!! I did have some cork and the cardboard to use, and for my attachments I used the Emerald Creek Angel Fish and dyed them in Turquoise alcohol ink.

I used some extra twine I had in my stash and a piece of drift wood I picked up on one of my trips to the beach with my nephews!

And voila....my November tag is completed! And now I want it to be summer so I can go to the beach, enjoy the sun and find more driftwood and seashells!! :)

I sure hope I have the supplies for the December tag LOL Or we may be heading to the beach one more time!

Thanks for stopping by and hope you are having a wonderful week!

Just Playing

Has the late shift at work today so wasn't home till almost 9:30, have company from Calgary for a couple of days and work the opening shift tomorrow.  So tired, but I wanted to play at my art table!
So because I still have so much to learn on how to use them, I played with my Color Bursts by Ken Oliver again tonight. The backgrounds you can do with one simple product are great! 
As you can tell from the first two pics, you can barely see where the Color Burst Powder is then just spray with water and look at all the color just burst out.

 The first one I did was just some color bursts and sprayed them with water, then stamped the dragonflies with my Ranger Archival black. So bright and lovely.

On the second one I just tapped a bit of the powder onto my craft mat, spray it with water, then just rubbed my watercolor paper over the puddles and got this gorgeous watercolor looking background. I stenciled the words on in Dylusions paint and I painted the dragonfly with my color bursts and #6 round brush.

Didn't take too long and I felt better after a bit of time surrounded by my art stuff! :)

Working on some ideas for my first design team piece for Emerald Creek, but no sneak peeks on that one, not until release time!! Well maybe a hint of colors being used but not the project. Can't wait to get my first order and start creating!

Have a great weekend everyone!
