Tuesday with Tara {take 311} Anniversary tag
Happy Tuesday! Today is my anniversary (8 years!) and I thought it would be fun to share a throwback post… a project I created prior to joining the SNS team, so it’s never been shared here before! If you’re a fan of Tim Holtz and you’ve been a maker for a while, you might remember back when he had his ’12 Tags’ series of tutorials. They were amazing (and are still available to check out on his blog) and this projects is from 2014, a year that he published one detailed tutorial each month. This is my take on his July tag of 2014. It’s still hanging on display in our home 🙂
Enjoy this throwback to 2014:
I’m in love! It’s true, I’m in love with my amazing husband, with whom I’ll be celebrating our first anniversary this weekend! I’m also in love with the beachy tag Tim Holtz created with fun techniques for July. So it only seemed right to combine my loves and make some framed art for my hubby for our anniversary 🙂
Here’s a few close ups of how it came together…
Tim’s technique for making sand was fab! I had to tweak it a bit and actually used texture paste & distress stain as my base instead of Glossy Accents. I used some torn corrugated cardstock as a base for my beach 🙂
I created a pair of sea horses- love how many colors these little creatures can be! Such a good looking couple 🙂
I added a crackled heart, embellished with some chitchat stickers & a metal number 1.
forever my love… from Tim’s strip die of words for Valentine’s day- but clearly great for other occassions!
Here’s my completed tag, before framing:
Obviously, since I made this project 8 years ago, many of the dies are unavailable right now. I hope you are inspired by the colors & techniques though and it’s got you thinking about new things to do with products you may already have!
Inky hugs,
Tara
