Christmas Tag

I created a tag based on techniques Tim Holtz posted on his blog last year for a challenge over at the Vintage Veranda. Thanks to the local Crafty Scrapper store hosting a class taught by Wendy Vecchi, I was able to learn the techniques for creating this tag from a real pro. Wendy is very talented and you should check out her blog for some fabulous work! I used distress crackle paint, distress inks and my favorite Crafty Secrets Santa stamp.

Tim Holtz September Technique Challenge

Tim has challenged everyone out there in blog land to create something using Adirondack Dye Inks as a Watercolor Technique. You can check out Tim's challenge and his blog by clicking on the title to this post. I used a Hero Arts stamp and 4 Adirondack Dye Ink pads (Butterscotch, Terra Cotta, Currant and Lettuce). I even used the Terra Cotta ink to color a wood button so that it would match the card! How cool is that?
