Tims tags July

Morning lovelies! Wow - schools out and don't I know it! Bliss!!!! Off to mums this morning - haircut and fun day - hopefully at the beach!

I'd like to share my Tims tag for July with you today - this has to be my fave tag so far this year - its gorgeous - it has so much on it in terms of techniques - I have tried to follow most of it but there are one or two areas where I had to do my own thing due to lack of equipment!!! Here's a link to tim's original tag - and here's a picture:



And here's my tag:

So I followed tims method as much as possible - the seahorse was done the same - the first change is the echinoid - I used the larger one from the Bigz die - it is larger than Tims  but I think it looks okay. I used distress paint and frantage on the diecut to create the texture - I did a similar this with the seastar.

The background was created in a similar way but my colours are darker than tims - the acetate was embossed using a sheena folder - I didn't have tims - and the sandy bottom mixture wasn't quite the same but had the essential ingredients in it. I used the garden greens die to make the seaweed and cut alternate leaves to make it look a bit more like the one on Tims tag! I'm very pleased with how this turned out!

I'd like to enter this into timholtz -12-tags-of-2014-july.

I hope you have a great day and thanks for dropping by - I have another make using these dies to share with you tomorrow - loving them! Hugs rachel xx
