Bows


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

  8. Thank 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!

    Thanks again, all!

  10. 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
    Many thanks for your lovely comments :D
