Techniques with Tim

Techniques with Tim Holtz, almost but not quite.  I've had a most enjoyable morning at Alice in Paperland playing with a whole assortment of Tim's techniques thanks to the talented two,  Jenni & Kerrie.  A few months back they were lucky enough to attend Tim's class held in Sydney, and came back brimming with all his wonderful techniques, and of course, there were lots of people who wanted them to do a class, and so they have teamed up to do two classes.  Today we made 10 tags, and next week the second lot of 10 tags will be taught - 20 tags in total.  Can't wait to get inky fingers again, it was such fun.

The tags were made using Distress Stains, Dabbers, Distress Inks and a little bit of shimmer thrown in just to add a sparkle.

I think this is my favourite tag, although my photo doesn't do it justice.   It has a beautiful suede feel and is made by scrunching, dabbing, drying, dabbing some more and finally adding some perfect pearls to add shimmer.  I just keep wanting to pat it, hee hee!

Have a crafty day!
