Jared's Mom: Tim Holtz Tags of 2015

Good Afternoon Crafters!

I have been thinking of joining Tim Holtz Tags of 2015 Challenge, but unfortunately I didnt get enough time to do so. Since I am very much free today, I have decided to finally do it. =)

For the month of June its all about creating a simple plaid background. His challenge has taught me simple and multiple techniques. I have incorporated the techniques in my tag. My tag turns out simple but gorgeous, thanks to Tim Holtz!=).

Here's Tim Holtz June 2015 Tag:

And now this is my version,......

So here goes my tutorial! Creating the background wasnt that easy. I've used a couple of tags before I get that spotted background thingy. LOL. I used Ranger Tim Holtz - Vintage Photo Spray Stain. And then, I layed over my Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Stencil - Stripes and ink it up with Ranger Tim Holtz Distress Inkpad - Mowed Lawn and Ranger Tim Holtz Distress Inkpad - Peeled Paint. I also did used my blending tool to push the colors that are hanging over my stencil into my tag.

Then I distressed it with Tim Holtz Tonic Studio - Paper Distresser and Ranger Tim Holtz Distress Inkpad - Walnut Stain.

I've cut a strip of burlap and lay out over my tag. Like this:

Then I started preparing my embellishments. I die cut a Sizzix Tim Holtz Movers & Shapers - Sewing Room. Painted the dressform with Ranger Tim Holtz Distress Paint - Tarnished Brass and the spool with Ranger Tim Holtz Distress Paint - Walnut Stain . Afterwards I distressed both of them with Ranger Tim Holtz Distress Inkpad - Walnut Stain and decorate both of them. Then I also die cut some Sizzix Tim Holtz - Tattered Florals used the small flowers (3 cutouts), distressed them with Ranger Tim Holtz Distress Inkpad - Barn Door, Ranger Tim Holtz Distress Inkpad - Mowed Lawn and Ranger Tim Holtz Distress Inkpad - Walnut Stain. Layered them over each other and added a brad from my personal stash to attach them. Unfortunately my burlap wasnt of good quality, so every strands was torned down, and I have to do a lot of polishing. LOL. I also cut out some corrugated box and distressed it with Tim Holtz Tonic Studio - Paper Distresser and Ranger Tim Holtz Distress Inkpad - Walnut Stain.
