Tim Holtz November 2016 Tag


Y'all know that since I've only been blogging about a year and a half now that I'm new to Tim's tag challenges, well relatively new.  Somehow I have never EVER seen the rub-on resist technique before.  And it is so so cool!!!


If I could go back in time I would do two things today.  One would be to have tried this technique when it was first introduced!  Duh!  And the second would be NOT to dip this gorgeous background in gesso.  Not to turn it pink, then NOT to dip the pink background in Vintage Photo to cover up the pink.  But, I can't.  I had to make lemonade with this one.


I am NOT a colorista, sadly.  I'm just not, so I used this sweet image from my new pack of Tim's cabinet cards.  I added a 7Dots sticker and a Tim "smile" die to it.


The very very dark background really showed the resist well, which I do like.



I picked up the tiny wood stars recently and thought they were the perfect texture accent.  And there you have it, my total "failure" of a take on Tim's beautiful fall remix....  LOL!

    They really are quite addictive Autumn! I have been doing them since March 2012 so I am well and truly hooked. Your art and blog are so professional, it is hard to believe you have been blogging for such a short time. Love your gorgeous tag! The image is adorable and the background you created is fabulous - as always! Hugs, Anne xx

    Autumn if you had not told us, I would have thought you background was intentional - it is fabulous!! the red/pink showing through the dark is wonderful and has a sort of "outer space" look. A fascinating tag that I think is awesome

    Autumn, I really like the way your background turned out. It might not be what you were intending, but it makes me thing of a dark, snowy night during Christmas time maybe just after a parade, driving around looking at the colored lights. Beautiful.

    Oh my, I DO like your failure! I enjoyed reading your adventures with this tag, and was with you each step of the way, saying "Oh yeah, I do that too". But actually the final coloration on the background is quite effective with the b&w shades of the other goodies you've tucked on this pretty tag. I'd be very proud if my failures were this awesome. So your lemonade turned out very sweet indeed, and bet you learned a lot along the way. TFS & Hugs (I enjoy reading about the trials and how somebody saved the day..it's inspiring!)

    Definitely NOT a failure. This is very cool, Autumn! Tim's challenges are always so cool-- he has something to offer to everyone, every month, regardless of experience or mastery of papercrafting... and often we learn from our "failures"-- too bad there is not enough time to re-create some of the projects that turned on us... alas, we are moms...

    Great save, Autumn! I have to say you run an amazing lemonade stand, and I'll have to take two! GORGEOUS background, and I happen to love how it turned out-so rich and shows off those rubs so well! Great take and a WINNER! Hugs!

    Oh, Autumn, what I wouldn't give to come up with a "failure" like yours! I know how you feel, reading this blog post was like reading one of mine - LOL, but not typical of you. Although I do like the pink version, I really do like how the pink shows up through your vintage photo - it kind of looks like a night sky kind of background, which is so cool! Your card is a great choice, along with embellishments. Awesome tag, Autumn! Hugs :-)

    Well the new pinked up and grunged up background isn't bad at all, just different. I think Tim would love it! An for all it's worth, I like it very much. Thanks for linking up to our Star challenge at Country View this month.

    10/10 for persistence, you created something wonderful in the end. Just proves one should not toss things in the bin as the first set back. Lovely work.

    I have done some things that I thought I would throw the thing out. I've had to let some sit for at least a week or so and then I see it as a brand new card with fresh eyes and say, oh, that's quite nice. It just wasn't what you were going for when you were working on it. However, when I or anyone else commenting on this tag sees it, they see gorgeous textures and colors and design. So do I ! ! !

    So glad you joined us at Morgan's Artworld.
