Tim Holtz 12 Tags of 2014 - june

Tims June's manila tag is very beautiful, and it's always a challenge 

to be on his blog. 

There is always very nice and different examples from around the world.

Tim's method of putting ink on the stencil is exciting, but I was not really happy with my very different colors, so I chose the more toned down. I chose the lace / doily and dot fade stencil's. 

I love the stencils Tim has made.

Bug in a Box

Hello everyone it's been so long since I've been on my blog - 

I have now done several different things and the first thing I want to show you is a male birthday card for my daughter's boyfriend who loves insects.

 A long time ago I was at Claudia's blog, Von Pappe II, and there is a really good tutorial of a beautiful insect, it was the one that inspired me. 
I made a box to fit a manila tag. The paper which I have covered the box is from the drawer, and it has been distressed with Tim's inks and a little gesso to give it the old look.

Tim Holtz texture fades, alcohol ink and stencil.

Thanks for visiting my blog.

Say what you mean

My daughter would also have a birthday tag, so I used Dylusions 

"With the right hat" and "Basic background" stamp. 

I've covered the woman with a mask and used Tim's Dot fade and 
the inks Fired Brick and Weathered Wood. 
The text I have used is also Dylusions. 

I love the stamps and stencil's which is designed by Dyan Reaveley, 
it's just my sense of humor. 
I have drawn a little with my prisma color in order to highlight.

Thanks for visiting my blog.

Inspired by Flaming June

This month at OCC, you must be inspired by Lord Frederic Leighton's Flaming June image, and use rich tones of orange as the main color. 

The picture made ​​me remember my childhood with sun, heat and high skies, and I made this journaling page.
