Tim Holtz Tag....



....well sort of!
This isn't actually anything like any of Tim's 12 days of christmas tags, but I was inspired by Tim's tags to go make something along similar lines. Most of the stamps and collage image are by Inka, but as an homage to Tim I have used the grunge alphabet in the background. This is an absolutely gorgeous stamp that I recently received as part of my prize for winning the craft stamper ATC competition (the prize was provided by The Fruit Pixie).

To make the flower I used Inka's mirrored poinsettia stamps, this meant that they did not line up when I place one on top of the other giving a more realistic effect.
since step outside the box saturday has the theme to do a "Tim Tag" this is my entry.
I just realised this fits with Saturday's workout theme as well

  1. This is a very different style for you I think... darker and more layers. But recognisable by the hint of Inka :0) You received your prize quickly! Great it was a decent one worth having...its a very large stamp that one. What else did you get?

  3. I really like that layered, antiqued style. I have been meaning to play around with that style, but haven't tried it out yet. But it sure looks inviting!
