Each month Tim gives us an amazing tag for inspiration and his November tag can be found here and his October tag can be found here . So here are my two catch up tags ...October first ..
I mad a yummy Distress painty background, still so in love with these! And then cut out this gorgeous vintage santa...A new Tim one and coloured him with distress markers from craft sheet with my waterbrush.
I added the frame but used silver Distress glitter.......well pumice stone, gorgeous stuff!
and added some die cuts coloured with iced spruce and sprinkled with Distress rock candy, still love this stuff , makes everything seem sugar coated/ frosted.
copying Tims layout I added a sentiment from simple sayings...
and some scrummy dyed seam binding at the top..
Now for my festive take on November :
For this I followed Tim's lead and so all the details of the chalkboard effect can be found here ,
and then added some linen ribbon, dyed seam binding and some idea-ology...including the cutest ice skate going!!
hope everyone is getting there helping Santa, Life events here have delayed proceedings some what and now I have a really horrible cold :( but we will get there ! Santa will be ready !
keep those fingers inky!

Beautiful 'Trace' versions of Tim's tags. You've really stamped your mark all over these and yet they remain recognisably close to the originals. So clever and so good. Hope that cold goes quickly. Jenny x
ReplyDeleteI love both of these tags with the wonderful ideas and the images you have used

Oh Trace, love your wintery versions of Tim's tags, specially the October one (way nicer than the original IMHO).... The November one with the skates looks great too!!
ReplyDeleteBoth great tags! A pitty you weren´t able to play along, but sometimes other things are more important! Have a great weekend, Gerrina
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Trace…I like them both!
ReplyDeletefabulous tags Trace - I especially love the October one - really beautiful x
ReplyDeleteTrace, both tags are wonderful! Love the chalkboard effect with the skates, but that neutral Santa with the sparkly frame is such a vintage beauty! Enjoy the weekend!
ReplyDeleteI have to tell you Trace - I love your Santa tag - wonderful and to me really perfect. If something were to happen to my husband, I would chase down Santa and woo him!!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays kid and I do hope all is well with your family.
