Twelve Tags of 2014 - May - 'Sweet Dreams'


Well, with around a week to spare, I have completed my tag for this month's Twelve Tags of 2012 Challenge, hosted by the incredible Mr Tim Holtz. Month after month, he comes up with a new tag to delight and challenge us ever eager crafter's ! This month Tim has asked us to dig out those embellishments we all love to hoard. you can see his gorgeous creation here. I've recently been having a lot of fun with my 'Instant Rust' kit and have quite a stash of rusted bits bobs which occasionally find their way onto a project. The theme for this months tag has presented me with an ideal opportunity to use some of them. I also couldn't resist using the little 'Frozen Charlotte'. I don't have any of those lovely Shadow Press embossing folders that Tim has used, so I've substituted that element, with a Movers and Shapers die cut word. To make it stand out I cut one in black card and slightly offset it before adhering to the back of the die cut patterned paper. I raised it up with dimensional tape to further enhance the shadow effect.
So that's it for May, I wonder what Tim will have in store for June? Mmmmmmm! x

  3. I do love rust! It looks great with your colour choices on this tag. I adore what you did with the die-cut word too: what a good idea to off-set so that it has a 3D effect! Frozen Charlottes are one of my favourite craft items. A friend recently made me one from a mould and I haven't had the heart to use it! I should take a leaf out of yours and Tim's book and get it onto a project! Julie Ann xxx
