12 tags of 2015 April

Hi and welcome! I almost didn't make it in time, but here is my version of Tim Holtz 12 tags of 2015 April.

Watercolouring is, as you probably know, one of my favourite techniques. I decided to ink up the Runway stamps for the first time, since their scribbled look works well combined with watercolouring. The sentiment comes from the Handwritten Love set.

I used Bundled Sage and Pumice Stone markers for the background technique, and Dusty Concord and Picked Raspberries for the women. 

Instead of using a word block die like Tim did, I picked one of the Shape Strips dies, which was just the right length. I love the little dog, and the shadow brings it to life even more. 

The Mirrored Stars were coloured with Cranberry and Raspberry alcohol ink. I also used the stars from the border here and there.

Thank you so much for looking! See you tomorrow again for my last post of April. I can't believe it is almost May.

Happy crafting!
