Hello again tag friends! I have three new tags for the Bows theme. All were chipboard cutouts, including the tag base and details like the truck, trees, deer, skates, and foliage. I painted, embossed and glued myself silly. :) The bows were all made with ribbon using a technique I saw on Pinterest using the tines of a fork to wrap the bow. All tags are 8"x4". They are also kind of sparkly which is darn near impossible to capture with a camera. The skate blades are silvered using foil transfer sheets (Tim Holtz has a tutorial on you tube). I hope you like them. Let me know if you have questions about them - I used a lot of different techniques.
Thanks!
Heather

ReplyDeleteFabulous tags, lots of interest and textures, love all of them. I see you are a big Tim Holtz fan.
I love all of your tags - the ice skates especially!! (Reminds me of when I would go ice skating every night as a teenager.) The bows are just gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you all for the very kind feedback! Wendy, it's hard not to be a Tim fan when he has such great products and ideas, don't you think? Inevitably most of the dies in my collection are from his line. :) Ah well, I hope I can find some ways to use them that are my own. I am really inspired by all the talented people I find across the web - including this group!
ReplyDeleteThanks again, all!

Hi Heather, you asked whether I had sequins on my tag. No, they are faux buttons, cut from card and then I added some glossy accents on top :D
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for your lovely comments :D
All super! Especially love the skates. Such a universal symbol - totally for everyone, whatever they happen to be celebrating this time of year. Nostalgia :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome set of tags. I'm envious.
