My third tag following Tim's 12 tags of christmas! it is a wonderful challenge to do different techniques everyday, a refreshing of knowledge plus some cool new ideas! i like this alcohol ink technique he used, Tim's tag, indeed soooo easy yet i had never tried it simply because it did not appeal to me :) but i went with him (i am such a good girl) and must agree that it is pretty cool as a background! one more for my technique tagbook (those who know me also know i take my tagbook everywhere! my little Ranger bible)i actually only own earthtones!! i must stock up on some lights and brights. i also never saw the need of getting the pitch black! but hey... i am converted, i learned a lot today! so big thank you to Tim! see,even us Ranger Educators learn every day!!
oh yes, the acrylic saying at the top is one my friend Sue gave me. i covered it with snow cap paintdabber and wiped back off, the letters are engraved so took the paint really well, again, simple but effective, i did this on the token too, you might have noticed. i attached the saying with Tim's attacher, i did have to give the staples a little bang with the hammer on the back but it worked like a charm!
and i didn't like the black look on the tag along with my colours so i wiped over it with fired brick and stamped the speckles on.
tomorrow day 4 of the tags! come back and see what my look on it is!
and! tatatadaaaaaa! this is my 100th post on this blog!!! i don't write that often, ok , now i am writing every day due to Tim's tag challenge, i started this blog right after i had attended Ranger U in October last year and i have enjoyed it so far a&nd have come in contact with some lovely people all around the world! oh i want to move to Arizona, Spain, UK, ..... lol.
to celebrate my 100th post, the first person to comment today will recieve a little piece of my art ( if you are not a fan of my paintings then wait a bit to comment lol!)
yes, you guessed it, it will be a little doll/girl painting, especially made for you! meaning, you will have to wait a little for it to be finished :)
ohhh i wonder who is going to comment first! where will my art be travelling to????

Bummer!! I'm #2!! LOVE the tag you did!! Yes, I'll get working on mine.... soon!! Busy morning here, but I've managed to stop and pick up a new bottle of blending solution so I'm ready to go.... I'm going to use a single tree stamp like you, since I don't own the stamp Tim used. BUT - I DO have the Santa stamp he used on the second tag so I'll use that one for my second tag. I'm doing 2 tags each day as it is, so Tim's got me going now!! I'll drop back later!!!! Have a great day, Tanya!!

The tag is great. I love the colours you chose: nice and non-traditional.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, black alcohol ink is an absolute must! Try it on silver mirrorcard. Or red mirrorcard. Or... You get the idea!
Congrats on your 100th post - glad Tim can get you blogging regularly.
ReplyDeleteLoving your takes on his tags.
Hugs Sue xx
