Made a birthday card for a friend the other day and used the techniques Tim Holtz had used on one of his Christmas Tags (number 5 I think). This was one of my favourite tags so I just had to try it out again but in a non-Christmas way.
I used plain circle Fragments over clock images. First of all I coloured my tag with Broken China, Faded
Jeans and Weathered Wood Distress Inks. Then I stamped the flourish with a Gold Dabber and swiped Black Archival Ink over a script stamp. (I echoed the flourish on the actual card, again just swiping rather than tapping ink on the stamp).
Next I inked some cream cardstock with Walnut Stain, Brushed Corduroy and Aged Mahogany Distress Ink and stamped three clock faces with Archival Black. The clock faces were then put behind Fragments with Glossy Accents and stuck on the tag. The words were produced with my Dymo and I stuck some Gold German Scrap on the top and bottom. A piece of black ribbon was attached to the tag and the card was assembled.
Hope she likes it.
