Estelle<\/a> made a frame using a Tim Holtz\u00a0Mountain Top Die Set<\/a> a Tall Pine Die Set<\/a> a Moon Mask<\/a> and\u00a0Simon Says Stamp Mr. Rabbit Wafer Die Set<\/a>. She colored with Distress inks<\/a> and added some Distress Sparkle Texture Paste<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Andrea<\/a> thought of stars being up in the air, so she used Tim Holtz’s Falling Stars die<\/a> for the background of her card. She also incorporated patterned paper from Simple Stories’ Color Palette<\/a> and Studio Light’s Postage Madness<\/a>. The dapper gent in the middle is from Tim Holtz’s Paperdolls, Portraits<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Anna-Karin<\/a> made a hot air balloon tag this week, using an older stamp by Tim Holtz from his Remnants set<\/a>. The balloon was stamped on an idea-ology Journal Card <\/a>and colored with Prismacolor pencils<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Barbara <\/a>created an Etcetera Tag (Mini)<\/a> thinking about the book “Around the World in 80 Days”. The hot air balloon from the Remnant set by Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous<\/a> is perfect for today’s theme. She colored it using Ranger Distress Watercolor pencils<\/a>. The other two elements that complete the project are the typewriter from the Curiosity Shop<\/a> stamps set and the globe cut with the die from the Sizzix Vault World Travel collection.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Cheiron<\/a> created a card for a friend who is “up in the air” about a job decision. She used the Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Motivation 3<\/a> stamps and stamped her sentiment then stamped it again and embossed the heart with Picked Raspberry Distress Embossing Glaze<\/a>. She added it to a colorful mixed media background that she created with the Mini Media Marks<\/a> stamps with and then splattered with Gilded Foundry Wax<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Kath<\/a> created a floral card using lots of favourite Tim Holtz\/Stampers Anonymous products – Abstract Florals<\/a>\/Faded Type<\/a> stamps and Mini Layering Stencils from Sets 59<\/a> and 60<\/a>. She added a Tim Holtz\/Sizzix BrushStroke Butterfly<\/a> as the It’s Up In The Air element and film strips from Vault Picture Show<\/a>. She finished with a sentiment from Stampers Anonymous Tiny Text<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Macarena<\/a> stamped a dragonfly from Stampers Anonymous Classics #1<\/a> on an acetate panel using Tsukineko Stazon Cotton White Ink<\/a> and curled it by heating the edges. She added pieces of Tim Holtz Idea-ology Stencil Cards<\/a> and placed everything on a Tim Holtz Halloween Backdrops <\/a>papers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Maura<\/a> painted a circle card of the Earth with Daniel Smith watercolors like Sap Green<\/a> and Phthalo Turquoise<\/a> to celebrate Earth Day today. She added Simon Says Stamp’s Whirl Dragonflies<\/a> she die cut using Simon’s Holographic Paper<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Meihsia<\/a> was inspired to create a mixed media tag using Stamperia ALCHEMY 12×12 Paper<\/a> on the background, and decorated it with Tim Holtz Sizzix Vault Lovebirds Thinlits Dies<\/a> and Tim Holtz Idea-ology LABEL STICKERS THOUGHTS<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Zoey<\/a> used Distress Spray Stain<\/a> to add color to her tag. She also used Renaissance stamp<\/a> to add texture to the background. Filed noted<\/a> stamp set was also used to add more interest to the background. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
