Butterfly TH Tag

Created this Butterfly Tag using one of the Kraft cardstock tags in my Tim Holtz Journeys of the Past Tag Book.

In the class I inked the edges of the Kraft cardstock & tied jute on it.

Mon 4/23 Tim Holtz was at the Stamp Asylum store that hosted the class. Tim Holtz demonstrated the Sizzix Eclipse machine & TH Distress Markers. Tim created the Butterfly images with the TH Distress Markers and gave it to me. I decided to use the Butterfly piece on one of the tags in my book.

I used Cloud pattern paper. Distressed the edges of the Cloud paper with scissors. I do not have the Tim Holtz edge distresser but plan to buy one soon. Inked the edges of the Cloud paper with TH Distress Ink faded jeans. Stamped 2 images on the Cloud paper: Time Flies in top left corner and Buterfly with clock in bottom right corner. Attached the Cloud Paper to the tag. Mounted on black cardstock the Butterfly piece that Tim Holtz had created & gave to me and attached it to the tag.
