Cannot believe August is flying by, but found some time to make my August 2015 Tim Holtz tag this weekend. I printed this little girl image from THIS pin. I don't know what's gotten into me lately with the pink art, it's normally not me. But I decided that a rustic pink background would be a great way to frame her.
I usually NEVER have any of the products that Tim uses, but I actually had these sentiment dies and decided this would be a good time to use them. I glued the cut tag over some pink Authentique paper with a glue stick, not gluing where the actual cut outs were so it didn't gunk up.
I added Worn Lipstick, Victorial Velvet, and Vintage Photos to the panel after I had dry brushed the gesso over. It created a very pretty resist effect!
The letters weren't adhered so well, so after the background was complete I brushed the whole thing with mod podge and then adhered the girl to it. I sprinkled some vintage chunky glitter across and layered some washi tape. The metal piece was a brad by Making Memories that I've had for ten years. When I used my Crop-a Dile to attach it, it left a circular indention. BOO! :( But I really liked this tag despite it... The sentiment is a sticker by Heidi Swapp and I brushed Memories brown permanent ink with a paint brush around it and the girl for shadowing.
I added some DIY tattered and torn ribbon, tutorial HERE, and tied a button on with twine. I decided to make some little enamel dots with nail polish. It worked! COOL! I love how they coordinated. I also love the metallic accents. I'm linking up to House of Cards for their August Metallics Challenge HERE and to Tim's August lineup HERE. Thanks for looking!
Update: I am so excited that Tim has announced my tag as one of the winners of the August linkup HERE. Thank you all for your kind comments and visits.
