Tim Holtz' 12 Tags of 2013...January

Well, this is my version of Tim's January tag. Of course, I turned it into a card.

"12 Tags of 2013...January"

Some foamboard diecuts were used for extra dimension, and I added a couple of watch charms and some chain. The clock hands are foamboard cut from the Weathered Clock die, and the filmstrip is stamped onto acetate using black archival ink then cut out with scissors. There is some matting and layering onto Tim Holtz paper and plenty of distressing. The clip holding the "Time" sentiment is recycled from some Marks and Spencer shirt packaging, the clips are plastic, but resemble metal once dabbed with some silver Adirondack alcohol ink mixative. The foamboard diecuts are dabbed with silver and gold mixatives. The black foamboard showing through makes for a sort of reverse distressing. If you fancy a closer look at anything, just click on the picture to enlarge it.

The sun is making one of its rare appearances here in Northern Ireland this afternoon and it's a welcome sight indeed after all the rain of the last few days. Hope you are all having a Sunny day whatever the weather.
