TIM HOLTZ TAGS 2013 - NOVEMBER

I really had to improvise with this one as I had nothing of what Tim used.  I was going to cut a black tag but decided in the end to use a manilla tag and my black soot distress ink pad.  My camera takes quite bright pics, but the tag is actually quite dull and very matt in the flesh, so to speak lol.

It's supposed to have the chalkboard look to it, but I didn't have any real chalk.  However, I did have my Pebbles Inc. chalks so I smeared loads of the white over the tag.  I also didn't have T.H.'s particular embossing powder so I used a normal detail white one and once I'd smeared that with chalk too, it took any shine away.  I only heated the embossing powder lightly, so it wasn't too shiny anyway. My stamps are Paper Artsy and the bird is Kanban.  Finally, a bit of ribbon to finish it off.  Although not a dead ringer for Tim's, I actually like the way this turned out.
