TH Mar 2015 Spring Butterfly Tag

This is my version of the Tim Holtz March 2015 Tag.

I used a mix of Tim Holtz items & other items I had on hand. You can see items used in Supplies List below.

I used a Stampin' Up SwallowTail stamp. 

Used TH Cargo Layering Stencil, texture paste & Gold embossing powder.

On parts of the paste & gold embossing powder areas that were white from the embossing powder coming off I used Wink of Stella Gold pen for touchup. Thought this gave it more of a finished distressed look. 

Stamped a Hero Arts sentiment. 

Used a Simon Says Stamp Stitched Circle die to cut out sentiment. Used burlap & twine. Inked edges of sentiment tag & burlap with Tim Holtz Distress Ink walnut stain. 

Added a star charm to complement the star in the sentiment. Inked star charm with Delicata Golden Glitz ink to give the star silver finish a gold look.

    1. Thank you. I took a couple of classes when Tim Holtz came to Central TX. I buy some TH items from a local stamp store, Stamp Asylum, and the owner knows TH. Took a couple of days to make this.
