12 tags of 2013 July

Hello stampers! Today I am sharing my version of Tim Holtz 12 tags of 2013 July, just in time. I had lots of fun with this one.
 
I love using my brayer and I thought Tim's technique for the July tag with the brayer was awesome, a great random effect, just what I like. The shattered stains technique is a favourite of mine (I used it on this layout for example) and here I used it on the vintage camera and on the picture wheel.

I used Wild Honey, Spiced Marmalade and Peacock Feathers Distress Stains for the background and inked with Gathered Twigs. The stamping was done with Archival Jet Black and Monarch Orange. I used photography related stamps and a number ledger stamp.
 
Since I have a photography theme on my tag, I wanted to use the vintage camera die. It was die cut from grungeboard, painted with Rock Candy crackle. It was coloured with Gathered Twigs, Black Soot and Brushed Pewter Distress Stain, and inked around the edges with Black Soot Distress Ink.
 
  
The label was stamped with Archival Ink Sienna, which is a really nice colour and I used a favorite sentiment from Simple Sayings.
 
The Picture Wheel was die cut from grungeboard and I used Peacock Feathers and Gathered Twigs Distress Stain to colour the crackles and then inked with Black Soot Distress Ink around the edges. I cut the picture wheel so that only five windows remained. Behind the windows I glued mica sheets (a fave of mine), overlapping some of them. Each window was stamped with a letter, spelling 'photo'.

The crinkle ribbon was repeatedly stamped with the photo negative stamp, and inked with Spiced Marmalade and Peacock Feathers Distress Stain.

Thank you so much for looking!!

Happy stamping!

Anna-Karin
