my Tim's Tag for July 2013 - always and forever

well again I am running late for this months tag, how do I do it! So a link to Tim's fab tag for July can be found here. I decided to go with my happy place of blues and browns and followed the steps of Tim's but with a few added bits and different colours. So here is my make :


I will leave all the details, to the crafty master himself here, but a few photos...I loved the brayed background and made quite a few, although this wasn't the best I somehow loved the colours so went with that...

I made my hearts in the same way as Tim did his die cut pieces..


 I do so love this technique...looks great in all sorts of colours!...some idea-ology...


 thanks for looking.

have a fun and inky day!

    These colours always look so good together. Just nipped to see how you did the hearts as I thought it was eggs shells technique but I was wrong.
    A really terrific tag Trace

    Love Chrissie x

    Wow, love your take on Tim's tag (much more my colours than the original to be honest). I think the brayered background looks fab and the crackled hearts look fantastic!

    Your hearts have taken on an almost mosaic look to the crackling whihc look fantastic. And I like the alternate colours you used too. A nice tag all round.

    Hey Trace - another wonderful tag and it is not quite a busy as your usual style but equally as fantastic. You just gotta love those hearts. The hearts really take center stage and they should! I wish I could think of something new to say about your artwork but it seems that my vocabulary is limited. Great work!
