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

Ann created a birthday card for her best friend using a Tim Holtz Cocktails Blueprint stamp set, Distress Inks, and Alcohol Inks.

Anna-Karin created a card with a bright background made with Ranger’s Alcohol Ink. It was stamped with two background stamps by Simon Says Stamp, namely the Solid Grid and the Open Grid.

Barbara loves to have fun with alcohol inks. She has done two projects using tons of Ranger Alcohol Inks. To complete the two projects she also used Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous stencils Halftone and Hearts, Tim Holtz Sizzix Stacked Tiles Hearts, Tim Holtz Ranger Distress Texture Paste Translucent and Idea-ology Paper Dolls Portraits.

Cheiron created an Alcohol Ink panel with Ranger Alcohol inks. Then stamped images from the Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Media Marks 1 and Media Marks 2 Stamps using Distress Archival Inks. Then she cut the Make A Wish from the Bold Text 1 dies and inlaid the letters to make them stand out from her background.

Kath chose to have a play with Ranger Alcohol Inks and Alchemy Alcohol Pearl Ink on a panel of Tim Holtz Yupo White HeavyStock. She used images from Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Dearly Departed stamped with Alcohol Lift Ink  and Black Soot Distress Archival and added Idea-ology Remnant Rubs and Big Chat Stickers.

Lols  does enjoy a thimbleful of red occasionally so this was the perfect challenge to ink up the wine glass from the Tim Holtz Wine Blueprint Cling Stamp Set. She stamped the image twice, so that she could 3D the glass bowl, and colored with Copic Markers. She used Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink and a Tiles Stencil for the background and then splattered with ink and added a few sequins.

Macarena made a masculine card with a vibrant green bottle of beer using Tim Holtz Blueprints Beer stamp, Countdown die set and Distress Embossing Glaze Peeled Paint applied on the numbers. The sentiment means “Cheers”.

Meihsia was inspired to create a mixed media tag using Stamperia Oriental Garden 12 X 12 Paper on the background and decorated it with Stamperia ATELIER DES ARTS Die Cuts and Tim Holtz Cling Rubber Stamps BEER BLUEPRINT.

Sandra made her mom a card for her 75th birthday using her favorite colors in Alcohol Ink, like Raspberry, Purple Twilight, Aqua, Aquamarine. To give it a shimmer she also used Gunmetal and Rose Alloy 

So now it’s YOUR turn to get out your inks, paints and all things arty and start creating! We are looking forward to seeing what you make!
