A couple of tags ...

 I've missed my craft room!!  So i have been playing this morning, and made a tag ... but before i show you that I haven't blogged My 12th tags of Christmas.
 Here is T!m's ...

 And my take on it ...

 I did quite alot of adapting as I don't have the tissue paper (yet!!) . I stamped on the tag and them covered it with decopatch paper.  The tissue flower is made using 7 Gypsies Tissue paper, and I used rosettes and shrinkie plastic holly leaves rather than the doll (not my thing, the doll!).

Simon Says Stamp and Show - show a Tim Holtz themed tag

And here is this morning's creation ...

 To be honest I got a couple of sets of Tim Holtz's tissue tape a while back and have been stumped as to what to do with them, apart from use them instead of ribbon.  When I planned this tag i had the idea to use french print as the background .. the tape was perfect for this! I covered the tag in TH tissue tape (see pic below) and then distressed it using tea dye, vintage photo and walnut stain DIs.  I stamped stamps from Tim Holtz stamp sets onto card and then distressed them using vintage photo and broken china DIs.  Everything got the distressing tool treatment too!!The rosette is made by putting tissue tape onto tissue paper, distreesing it with Victorian velvet DI and then running it through the rosette die.  i haven't made a rosette flower using this media before, and had reservations ... but it worked!!
Finally I assesmbled the tag, and then stamped the sentiment directly onto the tag.
