Tims tag March

Hello lovelies - how are you today? I am excited as I'm off to Clarity Cumbria today hosted by the lovely Jo Rice - Off to get inky and painty and play! And tonight I go to see the village production of Iolanthe. Should be good!

Yesterday I had a good day towards my triathalon training - I cycled nealy 12km to the gym - swam the 16 lengths I need to do for the distance then cycled back. I was going to run the 5km on the end but got distracted by a spinach protein shake - yum!!! Times were good for me - very slow for a proper triathelete - but hey - I just want to complete the course!

Today I have Tims tag to share with you - this has been my favourite technique combo so far. I really loved creating this - thanks Tim!!! Here's what Tim did:

2016TAG

I used exactly the same techniques but varied the dies I used plus I used a different wordband. All the techniques are listed here.


I wanted to use the umbrella man - I love this die and thought he would look good using this technique.

A close up!


This one shows the added enamelling that I did - its in the top - because the card was so thick it almost burned - ooops!!!!


And here's the band I chose - a great saying I think!

I would like to enter this into the timholtz12-tags-of-2016-march

See you tomorrow!

  18. Hello sweetie! Just trying to catch up a little on all that I've missed, lol, as usual very late to the party but I really wanted to see your version of Tim's tag. Love it! Gorgeous colour, wonderful texture and everything yummy. After years of saying I don't like or do brown on my creations I appear to have changed my mind, lol! I think it's because I'm trying so many new and different things that I love the brown because it has made the other lovely colours pop, and I love how yours does that too Rachel. Hope you and the girls are having a lovely Easter Karen x
