Tim Holtz 12 tags of 2016- November

Hi Everyone and Welcome
Hope you are all ok. I really am so sorry I haven't been around much lately, either here on my blog or visiting and commenting on your blogs .My recent shoulder injury is to blame ! Sigh!!
I have been trying to get back into crafting over the past few weeks (Yay! Sanity is restored - well ok, some, hahaha.....). Slow but steady - as 'they'' say so I'm pleased to say I have managed to make Novembers tag for Tim Holtz 12 tags of 2016 which I would like to share with you today
Tim's fabulous tag and all details of how he created it can be found here so be sure to stop by to see our much loved professor working his creative magic and explaining 'how' so well .
Here's my take on Tim's 12 tags of 2016 November

Love the remnant rub resist technique - so effective . May be using that one alot more in the coming months. I used a mix of Distress stains and Distress stain sprays ( my craft stash dictated) . Rusty Hinge, mustard seed, peeled paint, mermaid lagoon , forest moss ,

I stamped and watercoloured 2 of the leaves from the blueprint leafs set but decided to go with the maple leaf . I added some touches of gesso to give the leaf a more weathered look and embellished with a small ideology game spinner .Seems the fork from my tableware set is MIA (???) so went with a spoon instead.

Though I have the alphanumeric thinlit dies I soon found out I have the 1" set not the 3/4" set so used a die from the Adventure Words: block thinlit die set instead.

And once again here is my finished Tim Holtz 12 tag of 2016 - November

Big thanks once again Tim for another great tag full of creative inspiration.

 Its hard to believe there's only one more to go ???!!!
Thanks everyone for stopping by today . 

Your visits, follows and comments are much appreciated . 

Thanks too for your patience in my absence-I'm hoping its not gonna be too long now before its business as usual here at Ink- A Pink
Until then 

take care and stay on the happy side

Tim Holtz 12 tags of 2016= September - Take Two

Hello and Welcome Everyone

Some of you maybe meeting me having just seeing the first tag I have blogged  for Tim Holtz 12 tags of 2016- September and for others of you it maybe your first stop by my blog today and you won't yet have seen the first tag. So for those of you who haven't seen Tag 1 here's the link and you will see the post and tag I am referring to.
So this post is all bout my take 2 version of Tim's September 2016 tag . As mentioned previously Tim's September tag and tutorial can be found here , well worth the extra click to see the master himself creating this months fabulous tag .
Following the same format as the blog post for Tag 1 here is my Tag 2 version of Tim Holtz 12 tags of 2016- September this time using the other of the two stamps from the stamp set 'Evolution' .

The distress paint patina tag using the same distress paints as for Tag 1: Salty Ocean, Mermaid Lagoon, Broken China, Twisted Citron, Forest Moss, Tarnished Brass and Antiqued Bronze.  I love how you never get the same results twice even when using the same combination of colours .

The alcohol ink resist panel again using the same alcohol inks as for Tag 1 - Pitch Black, Mushroom and Stream .

and just a few close ups of all the ideology embellishments- long fasteners (hammered) mini gears and an Alpha part word - 'Remember' ! (no shrivel this time hahaha)

some film strip, eyelets, a sprocket gear, a vial sticker, remnants rubs and some stitching.

and once again here is my Tag 2 version of Tim Holtz 12 tags of 2016 September

Just as I always do I have thoroughly enjoyed creating both tags (tag one can be seen here). I echo the words of thanks to Tim that I express on my previous post - thanks to you Tim for providing the continual creativity and inspiration that you do - it really is priceless!

Huge thanks goes out to all of you too who have spent time with me today and endured not one but two posts . I really do appreciate it .
Look forward to seeing you all again soon but in the meantime
take care
and

 keep on the happy side

Amanda
