Tim Holtz October 2015 Ombre Altered Tag

 I was so excited to play with my Distress Inks and make an ombre project this month!  I don't celebrate Halloween, so this will constitute as my Tim Holtz tag of October.  I did follow several of his processes.  I  inked my tag in sections in puddles of Squeezed Lemonade, Peacock Feathers, and Blueprint Sketch Distress Inks.  Then I stamped the dots in each corresponding color.  The flower stamp is a favorite that I use to give "texture."

I added one of Tim's sentiment dies that I cut from "ink clean up paper" and some torn, dyed fabric and washi tape.

 I stamped this pretty woman by Stampington to give contrast and stamped the die cut butterflies with the flower stamp.  I added a funky flower with a DIY Button Brad and some twine and charms.

 Lastly, I added some faux stitching with an amazing BoBunny stamp set and some DIY tattered and torn ribbon.

My tag is a bright and sunny make because it's been raining here for 10 days!!!  And I don't live in Seattle!  The hurricane is really doing a number.  I'm linkin up to SSS Monday for their Ombre challenge HERE, to Addicted to Stamps for their Butterfly challenge HERE and to Tim Holtz 12 Tags for October HERE.
