If you haven't played along pop across here and see the master at work..the tags are packed full of techniques and Tim's eye for design and detail and great fun to play along.
So here is my make:
(I did stay as true to Tim's tag as possible ..because I loved it and had nearly all of the stash!)
I also made an inspired ATC..see later in post!
There are so many things I loved about this tag, the fab colour combinations..something I have not used together before..but definitely will again..yummy! I do love my distress!
The grungepaper cogs, fab love them!
Cogs , well you know me and cogs...don't know what it is but I love them!
I loved the stamped ribbon too...another will be using again...idea!
I loved making this tag..so much I made an atc inspired by the colours...oh and my new blueprint mini stamp just fell through the letterbox at the right time...
I loved the colours so much and just had to have a quick play with my new stamps..rude not too!
I added a spinner for a clock hand and added crackle accents around it. The image was coloured with distress markers and my waterbrush and scuffed and edged with distress.
I am loving these new blueprints...cannot wait to add some more to my collection!!!
I was naughty and bought two of the new mini sets..restrained I felt!!!
have a fun and inky day!
I am adding my ATC to artful times time ATC challenge and linking up my Tim's tag for 2103
Simply gorgeous take on Tim's tag, and the ATC is absolutely fantastic too - Distress rules!

Great minds think alike!! (you'll see why:) Love your take on Tim's tag and I adore that new blueprint stamp - seriously good idea to use the crackle accents. I need these stamps but 'invested' in something else first... hugs, Jenny x

ReplyDeleteTrace...your tag is so cool! I love how you've used the mini blueprint clock on this tag...tucking it into little metallic gears and cogs. Such a cool tag! Thanks for the comment you left on my blog as well. <3 Candy

Ooh, Aah! What a fab tag. From one Distress freak to another - I love everything about this. Must find out what colours you used as they are sooo good! Need those stamps, oh Tracey, you have got me wanting to spend after seeing this. It is fab!

I haven't finished my catch up!!
ReplyDeleteLove this tag Trace - ALL of it is right up my street. My favourite must be the ATC though with that fab little clock and cracked face - wonderfully inspiring. (I NEED these stamps!).
