TIM TAG #9!

Although I have the "I'm Participating" button on my sidebar, it really has been more like "I'm Watching"! LOL

As I had both the dies for this one that made a great start.  Don't you find that when you don't have the basics a lot of time is spent in creating the alternative?  I am typically at my most creative when I have only the barest idea of what I might do and go digging through my stash.

My background stamp is from Heartfelt Creations, the bow and pine cones are MS, I used Soot crackle paint on the candlestick, black Zing on the swirls and Picket Fence crackle paint on the candle itself.  The red berries are a drops of Glossy Accents and MS red micro beads.  I used C'Ordinations stock with a kraft core for the die cuts.  I was surprized to feel a Victorian elegance coming from my tag once I had finished the candle and stopped there.  I may repeat this one!  Thanks as always Tim for the incredible inspiration!


I really want to know!  Do you use your tags?  And what do you do on the back of them?  LOL

  3. Your background came out really nice and the candelstick is so pretty with the greenery.

    Yes, I do use my tags. Sometimes I make two of the same design when following along with Tim. Then I have one to give away to special stamping friends.
    For the back, I cover the tag with a coordinating colour of plain cardstock. That also gives it more body for all the embellishments that Tim adds.

  5. Beautiful! Love all the colors on this tag! Yep, I actually use my tags on gifts and write a small handwritten note on the back. When I mess up so bad that I can't fix it, I keep it and use it as a bookmark. :)
