My take on Tim's tag for February 2015

Well the months go round so fast and here it is, time for another of Tim's tags, as always full of great tips and inspiration...

All the details from the master himself can be found here , I followed the idea of the tag and loved the collage feel...a new found favourite of mine...I have made a few pieces lately and realised , I haven't even stamped! shock horror!

So here is my take, minus the flashes of red, I went all neutral... you know me I love my neutrals...although I have been dabbling with colour behind the scenes too...

I loved this and wasn't sure if I wanted to cover it up....but cover it up I did.....

I added a number plaque which I had added some Decoart paint washes too...and some distress paints too.. and created a heart , covered in tissue tape, paints and crackle glaze, topped off with some rusty wire...a girl can never have enough rusty wire!

I added the arrow as Tim had done with the heart charm, but added it on some more rusty wire.

 Some dyed seam binding tied at the top of the tag, love all those crinkles!

  The word band was added the same as Tim had done...but it had some painty washes first. I added it on rusty wire and stapled to the tag .

Finally a close up of the heart and as you can see I splattered my background using my splatter brush and white paint. i just love the effect it gives.

I loved playing along again this month and cannot wait for the next one.....I will be linking my tag up to Tim's tags here  .

keep those fingers inky ... and painty!
