Tim Holtz: 12 Tags of 2014 - September

Wow, where did the last month go -

 I must have blinked and missed it!

Needless to say, I haven't been doing much crafting,

but am now back at my craft desk only to find, yet again

I don't have the main ingredients for Tim's tag - doh!

Still that hasn't stopped me, even though my take on

this month's tag is somewhat abbreviated.

Tim's tag for September is above - 

if you want to see how he made it,

click on the picture to go to his blog.

.... and here's my version

If you've read Tim's post, you may be wondering

where my 'faded layers' in the background are.

Well, if I'd used the proper alcohol ink cardstock 

they would probably have shown up,

but as I used ordinary photo gloss paper they didn't.

(let that be a lesson to me!)

I still like the background anyway - it's always

interesting using alcohol inks, such lovely effects.

Something else I didn't have was the Sizzix

Butterfly Frenzy die - so instead I used

a butterfly punch and as the butterfly was quite large, 
I only used a single one instead of a whole bunch of them.

I made two of the tags with different rub on

words.  The beautiful stamp is called

Art Nouveau Profile (In8119-k) by Inca Stamp.

Maybe, just maybe, I'll have everything needed
for next month's tag (although I doubt it!).

Thanks for looking :)
