Tags, tags, yes more tags, and a bit of Josh......

Tim Holtz 12 tags of Christmas are flooding the net. Everyone is 'doing it' or at least 'following it', me included! I'm one behind, but considering I've been in school again yesterday and today, I'm not doing bad, but am I???? The thing is, I just can't help going off and doing my own thing. It's just the way it works, but the inspiration is there and that's the main thing eh?



Anyway, here's the tag using fragments, very 'suttle' as I used to say! The Angel images, beautiful flourish and text background are Crafy Individuals, and the rub on is Basic Grey.


The tag above is using the masking technique, again muted colours, but a bit more my style of the minute, a bit vintage......... Santa is by Stampington, lovely flourish by Judikins, believe by Inkadinkado.


A couple of close-ups of the detail.


You can just see the stickles on the Santa image above.

Believe it or not the tag above was inspired by Tim's car and tree tag. I actually made a tree from grunge paper, embossed and with fluffy stuff, but it didn't turn out 'useable', in fact it was terrible, lol, so it ended up in the bin!!!!!


A couple of close-ups again.

And finally, little JJ!
He just wants to get around!
Little terror!!!!!!!!
But I love him!

More beautiful tags. To be honest, I would rather see people doing their own take on Tim's tags, rather than just copying, so I really do like yours very much. I think your style is much softer, and, dare I say it, I actually prefer yours to his.
