12 tags of 2012 August

Hi everyone! Today I have my version of Tim Holtz's August 12 tags of 2012 to share. I had lots of fun making this shimmery tag:

I used another frame stamp than Tim did and stamped it with Versafine Onyx Black and clear embossed. It fit nicely within the oval Book Cover embossing folder. I didn’t have a silhouette stamp that was small enough, so instead I decided to use one of the three gentlemen from the Steampunk set, masking the other two out when inking the stamp. The embossed parts were painted with silver dabber and I used Antique Linen, Old Paper, Frayed Burlap and Pitch Black for the inking of the tag. The base of the tag was cut with the Brackets On the Edge die.

The pinecone was die-cut from four different colours kraft core cardstock, sanded and rolled into roses. I cut off a little bit of two of them before rolling, to make smaller flowers. They were inked with Frayed Burlap and a bit of Antique Linen Distress Stickles were added to them. The leaves and branches were cut with the Autumn Gatherings die, sanded, inked and coated with a bit of Antique Linen Distress Stickles.

 When everything was assembled, the tag was misted heavily with Biscotti Perfect Pearls and water (as usual the effect is hard to photograph).

I die-cut a tiny tag from grungeboard, painted it silver, sanded and inked, added a Chit Chat sticker and covered with Glossy Accents. The crinkle ribbon was dyed with Aged Mahogany and Frayed Burlap.

Thank you for looking!
