Ann made a project with lots of texture and details. She used one of her favorite embossing folder the Sizzix 3D Typewriter texture fade for the background. The focal image was created with Tim Holtz Sizzix The Count Colorize Thinlits Dies and the bottles were made with Laboratory Thinlits Dies.
Andrea stuck down some wrinkle-scrunched washi tape (Altenew’s Many Dots) and layered lots of scraps to build up texture on her card. She used Distress Kraft Heavystock for a sturdy background and cut the tag shape using her Sizzix Big Shot and Trinity Stamps’ Slimline Tags die set.
Anna-Karin made a tag with a quick crackle background. The background was stamped with Simon Says Stamp Reverse Crackle stamp and heat embossed. The Tim Holtz Wildflower Stems 2 were die cut from scrap papers.
Barbara had much fun playing with Tim Holtz Ranger new pastes, Distress Grit Paste Translucent, and Distress Crackle Paste Translucent together with one of her favorite stencils, Screwed by Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous . The new Idea-ology Paper Dolls Portraits are the perfect ingredient to complete her tags. To color and light up her projects, she used a lot of Ranger Distress Spray Stains and Foundry Wax Statue.
Cheiron created a mixed media tag with layers of texture including Typeset Collage Paper, Ephemera and stenciling Opaque Texture Paste through the stencil. She colored her tag with Distress Spray Stains and added Photobooth photo.
Emma created an Etcetera Tag that is packed full of texture. She used the Sizzix Damask 3D Embossing Folder by Tim Holtz to create the background and then layered a Photo Booth image, over broken idea-ology Ruler Pieces and added Floral Adornments altered with Foundry Wax to complete the piece.
Kath created a notebook cover using Tim Holtz Idea-ology Mini File Folder, Backdrops 1 Paper, Pocket Cards, Flashcard, Paper Doll Portraits and Curator Ephemera Snippets and added texture using Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Latticework Mini Layering Stencil with Distress Crackle Texture Paste coloured with Kitsch Flamingo Distress Embossing Glaze.
Macarena went quite maritime and made her card using Prima Marketing Mariner’s Voyage and Regal Trimmings Re-Design Decor Moulds. For the backgroung she used AALL&Create Graphic ABCS stencil with Tim Holtz Distress Micro Glaze.
Meihsia was inspired to create a mixed media tag using Tim Holtz Sizzix LUMBER 3D Embossing Folder for the texture on the background, and decorated it with Tim Holtz Idea-ology PAPER DOLLS MINI and Tim Holtz Idea-ology BASEBOARDS WINDOW FRAMES.
Sandra added texture to her card using Texture Paste on lots of AALL & Create Washi Tape and gave it color with Infusions In The Navy and Metallique Paint Stormy Ocean.
Zoey used a bunch of distress spray and oxide spray to add color to the background of her tag. She then used Grit Paste Translucent to add some texture through a Tim Holtz layering Stencil
