Happy Tuesday! It’s becoming clear to me that Easter is early this year… so I thought I’d share a bit of Easter inspiration with you today! This is a tag I made inspired by techniques by Tim Holtz, I’ve always loved his ’12 tags’ series and taking the techniques to create my own unique tag using the materials that I have on hand. I’ve been a bit slack keeping up with them… but as I look at projects from previous years, it inspires me to continue! And I have to say I love his ‘remix’ theme this year, giving a fresh take to older tags!
Here’s the tag that inspired mine- as you can see I made a few changes, including adding an Easter image, which is an image from one of Tim’s seasonal paper pads. I did follow the background technique (using tissue tape, Distress Paint & Distress Ink), so you can check that out on his blog since he’s already given excellent instructions 🙂 I used a paper punch that had a similar design to the die and assorted Prima flowers instead of creating my own. Of course I added some Crinkle Ribbon into the mix! Here’s a couple close ups for you:
And here’s a bonus card I created with extra supplies from my tag:
I love using those extra bits to create a mini tag, and then turning it into a card 🙂
