Hi Bloggers
I've always admired and have drawn inspiration from the one and only Tim Holtz. I've always loved his ideas and tutorials for the 12 tags of Christmas and I thought that one day I would like to have a go at them. Yesterday was that day.
I got home from my 2nd SatScrap crop at The Rest Hotel in Porthcawl, where I had a great day it must be said, and decided to have a look at Tim's blog and start from the beginning - Well, that's a very good place to start don't you agree? I took a look at his 12 Tags of Christmas from 2007 and decided to have a go at the 1st tag he gave a tutorial for. I didn't have the stamps so had to do a variation on the design and this is what I came up with.

ReplyDeleteSarah well done what a fabulous tag super work Hugs Elaine
ReplyDeleteSarah these are beautiful! You did a wonderful job! Love it!
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah , ref how to put the dancer on the stage , I had two images ,the stage and the dancer "minus the white surround you get in digi's " I just placed the dancer on top of the stage image ,then printed as simple as that. I use Serif Craft Artist platinum its so easy the program even removes the white surround from the images for me Big Hugs Elaine
ReplyDeleteTim Holtz is a genius & you have emulated his style perfectly (not easy!) - well done you :) x
ReplyDeleteWow! I love your take on Tim's tag! The luggage label is the perfect background and I love the colours you chose. Fantastic!
