I'm really proud of myself: I have done 2 of Tim's tags and what's best: I AM ENJOYING IT! No stress, no pressure, I'm just doing them for myself trying to learn new techniques and make do when I don't have all the supplies Tim uses. ( I admit I'm filling a cart in an online store with all the things I do NOT have).
I have to admit that I started the first one thinking I was gonna waltz through it. Tim's step-by-step tutorial and the photos are so clear and detailed that I thought "It's a piece of cake". Hmm, note to self: Tim is Tim for a reason. It was NOT as easy as it seemed and my tags are kinda poor cousins of those of Tim's but I'm happy the same.
This is Day 1 tag. Here you can see Tim's and this is mine:
I didn't have the Snowman so I used a Santa and since I didn't have plain grungeboard (how can I NOT have plain grungeboard? That's beyond me!!) I used plain chipboard. Didn't have the Picket Fence Stickle for the icicles so I used Rock Candy Stickles but my icicles look more like snot °_° Here's a close up:
But like I said I'm happy with my tag.
Day 2 was much more to my liking. Here's the original and here is mine:
I used Distress Ink Peeled Paint instead of Pine needles hence the olive green tone. I also used a different frame, swirls and saying and as I didn't have Old linen Distress powder I used Tea dye. I had loads of fun splashing the perfect pearls on the tag until I noticed that I had splashed also my pants: they are now my painting pants :) (Tim warned about covering up everything you didn't want to get "pearly").
And then to the metal rose which is AWESOME. It also took an AWESOME amount of time and twisting and turning but I have to say mine is almost as pretty as Tim's. Here's a close up (my close-ups suck)
Now onto Day 3. No, I have to work first :(
