Tim's Tags March

Hello fellow Crafters,

This is my second post for today and it is my take on the March tag of the 12 tags of 2015. I had to improvise as I don't have all the supplies that Tim used.
Anyway here it is :


This was way out of my comfort zone as I usually only use one or two colours. But, as I was doing it and saw the result I thought it turned out quite nice.. 
I used different  acrylic paints and water on my craft sheet and dragged the tag through it. I did two colours at a time. So, blue and green first, dried it, then pink and orange. I didn't want to make mud you see. I dried all this with my heat tool and then stamped the winged girl (TH-Winged things - CMS024) on the tag and clear embossed it. I then realised that I forgot the washi tape. Haha... So I used a stamp and grey ink to create a similar effect. (TH- Paris Memoirs CMS 159). I used one of Tim's layering stencils to create the numbers and sprinkled them with silver embossing powder. I let it dry and then heat embossed it. I went around the numbers with a black pencil as I wanted them to stand out a bit more. I used a metal heart, which I silver embossed and distressed with black Archival Ink, a chit chat sticker, som ribbon and a die cut heart from pattern paper to make the sentiment. 
A piece of lace ribbon through the hole finished it off ! 

Thank you for stopping by !

  11. How fun and nicely done! Your idea to let the layers of paint dry (to avoid mud) in between color changes is a good one and I also like how you outlined the embossed letters with black.
