I absolutely
love Tim's tag this month & decided to make mine sooner rather than later. Such gorgeous colours. Of course I didn't have everything - that doesn't matter - so started the hunt for what I did have. I basically followed Tim's instructions with a few exceptions. I didn't have the silhouette stamp or the frame so I cut these out from my Silhouette Cameo & embossed with black My Craft Studio meltdust. I did have the embossing folder (I didn't realise until I was looking through my folders-shame on me!) but not the paint so I mixed two PaperArtsy Fresco Finish paints together (Pewter & South Pacific). I also didn't have the Kraft Core card (on my wish list) so used Ranger's Distress Collection Core'dinations to make the flowers, branches & leaves. On the bottom of the tag I used a Sizzix TH 'On the Edge' Scallop die & embossed it with Stampendous Fran-tage Embossing Enamel in Aged Aqua. Then sentiment is TH & stamped onto some scrap paper, edged with walnut stain & rolled at the top edge. I crinkled up a dusky pink ribbon & added a Creative Expressions key, Prima gem & TH tassle to finish the tag off.

...this is beautiful Sue, loVe your soft candy coloured flowers and your background is a dream...a great take on August...Mel :)
ReplyDeleteA beautiful take on Tim's tag Sue! x
ReplyDeleteSue, I love your tag, it is absolutely fabulous, love the embossing, the colours of the flowers and that amazing framed cameo - I want a Silhouette more than ever now (but I can't have one - boo hoo). I think it is much more fun to make the tags when you don't have all the things required, it certainly makes me think more! I too have things that I have forgotten all about and could not tell you if I have the required embossing folder or not either............Anne x
ReplyDeleteThank you for your compliment on my tag. I also thought Tim's design this month was very nice and your tag is a lovely interpretation. I do not own a machine for cutting and embossing so I have to make do. But the frame you made is so very nice that I am curious what a "Silhouette" is and plan to research it. Fitting name for cutting machine used for this month's tag!
ReplyDeleteI love your version of Tim's tag. A Silhouette is on my wish list for sure and you just gave me another reason to need one. ;) You bottom edge looks so pretty with the enamel. Well done.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful version of the August tag - your flowers are super! Lovely that you dropped in at Words and Pictures... I'm off to explore some more here.
