Tims tag January

Hello there! How are you? I hope you are well. I'm glad to report that my dad is home and doing okay - which is great! I'm off to see them both again today - I'll get their shopping in and stay around for a little while. Hopefully I feel as positive after my visit.

Thanks for your kind comments on my post yesterday. Today I have my first Tims tag for this year.

2016TAG

Tim is revisiting techniques this year - you can find out about the two techniques for this months tag here. Here's what I did.


I used Tims techniques to create the background - I had problems with the blackboard technique however, I couldn't access Tims page for the full details at the time so used another blackboard technique that is much 'cleaner' but i think far less effective.  


I liked using this stamp though as I think the wings echoed the background rather nicely!

I would like to enter this into timholtz 12-tags-of-2016-january.

Have a good Friday!

Hugs
