Tags of 'Crafty Idividuality' inspired by Tim Holtz

The number of crafters following 'Tim's 12 tags of Christmas' is just AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!! Unfortunately time hasn't allowed me to complete the first 2 tags but here's my take on tags 3, 4 and 5 using Crafty Individuals http://www.craftyindividuals.co.uk/ rubber stamps.........

My 'Tags of Crafty Individuality' ....inspired by the brilliant Tim Holtz.

Above is my take on tag three. I decided to use Ranger products, obviously, as they are second to none!!!!! However, I do like to try to 'think outside the box', so decided to use my favourite stash of 'Crafty Individuals' rubber stamps and hand made embellishments as much as possible. Tha stamps used in tag 3 are CI-156 words, CI-182 large swirl, CI-235 small swirls assorted and CI-161 script. The santa on the tag is an image from the Christmas image book.

Tag 4 next, seen above. Not at all like Tims again, but the inspiration was from his work. This one uses the absolutely beautiful 'butterfly girl' CI-108 and a couple of snowflakes I received from Crafty Individuals on a demo day. I use these so often. The saying, 'a snowflake is a winter's butterfly is one of my favourites too. The circle is a fragment, coloured with alcohol inks as instructed, using archival ink to remove the alcohol ink on the back of the fragment.

Above is my take on tag 5. It's very plain I suppose, (I struggled a bit with this one. ) The santa and child is plate CI-136 and greeting is CI-142. These stamps are just timeless and I don't think they will ever date..........

Well that's it for now. I have tag 6 drying as we speak. I finished it yesterday but decided to tweek it a bit by adding Glossy accents. Hope fully I will post it later along with tag 7 which I am about to take a look at on Tim Holtz's blog now.

See you later!!!!!!!!!
