One of the Hero Arts challenges for this month is gift tags. I have always been amazed at the work of Tim Holtz, although "distressed and inky" is not my usual style. I decided to channel some Tim with this tag for which I used 4 different Hero Arts stamps (CL108, CL233, CG214 and CL359) and some Snow Cap Acrylic paint (Ranger dabber) for the snowflake background. Lots of Distress Inks - 6 different ones, I believe. My fingers were extremely colorful when I was done. I used one of Tim's techniques of making an acetate mask for the snowman. It worked pretty well - he has a bit of a halo effect.
I popped up the scarf with dimensionals, added details with Glitter Pens and Stickles, and I made the tiny label with a die cut from Memory Box (I love these little dies!). The snowflake is a MS punch and the ribbon is from my stash.
Now, this issue is that I put so much into this little tag, am I really prepared to give it away?Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
