Hello crafters! We finally had some warmer weather here and I enjoyed a long walk in the city center yesterday. Can you believe that it is already June?

This week we have a Masculine theme at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog. I hope you will join us! Since it is the first Monday of a new month, the team is showcasing products by a specific designer/company and this week it is Tim Holtz. You can find Tim Holtz fantastic range of products here. 

We also have a new guest designer joining us and during June Wanda Hentges will design with us. Don't miss her gorgeous project.

I made a tag this week, using the umbrella man from Tim Holtz Creative Muse as my focal point. I thought it was a fun idea to let him hold the umbrella over the main sentiment. The main sentiment and a part at the top left are highlighted by using bright yellow Distress Ink there, while the rest of the tag is blue and turquoise. 

Stamp the umbrella man from Tim Holtz Creative Muse on a heavystock tag.

White emboss the text stamp from Life Adventure here and there. I stamped the sentiment from Urban Chic under the umbrella.

Ink the tag with Distress Ink. Start with Mustard Seed and then continue with the blue and brown shades. 

Stamp Simon Says Stamp Ledger Background in three places and then stamp sentiments from Tim Holtz Curiosity Shop there.

I added Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Dazzling Gunmetal Gems to the background too. The script stamp has postage addresses from South Africa, making it extra special for me. 

The airplane was die cut from black kraft stock paper using the Tim Holtz Sizzix Vault World Travel die set.

The sentiments don't fit perfectly on the stamped lines, but almost.

I also stamped the diamond shape from Tim's Mini Muse here and there with Uncharted Mariner Distress Ink.

 

The number and arrows also come from Vault World Travel and were die cut from kraft core paper and from Tim's Silver metallic kraft core. The sentiment from Tiny Text was stamped on the margin of an old book page.
