All Things Tim

 Hello and welcome to the June A Tiny Craft Challenge, the theme is All Things Time ( or similar style if you don't have any of his "stuff" in your stash) 

First I gathered some Tim Holtz stencils and one odd stencil that was on the table. I used Distress Oxide inks and brushes to blend the colours over the stencils (remember I'm not very good with them) I also used the sentiments that come with the Snarky Cats, I layered them on black cardstock.

And now a closer look at each one .

The back ground is a bubbles stencil (non TH) I added a die cut balloon as the sentiment suggested birthday.

The background of this one is from a 3 piece set of TH tag stencils I've had for a long time and I used the new distress oxide ink Saltwater Taffy.

Background was made with a full size TH stencil Splatters (looked like coffee rings to me) 

Another of the trio of tag stencils from TH for the background. 

Bonus ATC

The background is the 3rd of the trio of tag stencils, I needed to use it as it went right along with the sentiment and of course the Snarky Cat. 

I'm adding this to:

T is for Tags at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers.

 Another two weeks has flown by and the weather has gone from Winter to summer and now we are having spring, so nice to have comfortable temperatures. 

Here is Edna to announce our newest challenge at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers.

Wow so many tags Edna is sporting on her dress. 

Here is what I finally came up with for the challenge. sadly it is a "snarkless" project. 

I am not sure why I went this route for my tag, it never occured to look up one of my AI beauties or a Stella digi from my computer but I did take myself way out of my comfort zone. Yellow/orange combo is not a favourite and I really don't do mixed media but I blended the oxide inks, added a few bubble from a stencil flicked water on it before I added the wild flower die cuts and the Smile die cut which I cut 3 times to pop it up.

closer look at the sentiment and you can see the stencil bubbles. 

I used my TH tag sizzix die to make the tag.

Thanks for stopping by today and head over to the Main Blog there is much better inspiration there from the rest of the team. 

Digging through my "Never Been Used Stuff" (NBUS)

 When I saw the Inkspirational Challenge my thoughts went to the Easter Egg Die from Elizabeth Craft Designs can you imagine my surprise when I realized I had never even opened it, I think it's at least 4 years old and I have no idea why I have never used it, it's so lovely it doesn't need to be just Easter. 

The fancy part of the egg was cut from white stardream cardstock layered on the sparkly cardstock I found at a dollar + store. There are 2 each of 5 different ombre colours. I cut the sentiment out of the same glitter cardstock and twice out of heavy weight white cardstock and layered them. 

Side view to show how the sentiment looks and at the back the small bit was cut off the base so it stands on it's own. I watched a video from Elizabeth Craft Designs on how to do this. 

I don't think I needed to cut so much off but the first cut I made was not straight, you know the old saying measure twice cut once. The egg shape I used for the sentiment is also a NBUS, the sentiment is a very vintage Hero Arts wood block sentiment 

I am entering this in:

It's Ornamental, My Dear Watson....

It's a new challenge at the Jingle Belles and since my hair appointment was rescheduled I had s bit of free time to make a card for the challenge and get it done before the linky closed, well surprise I'm early, wow, it doesn't end until next Wednesday. 

I was inspired by a teamie's sunset scene you will find it HERE although I think I was a little more heavy handed when blending. I uses Gently Falling embossing folder for the background on navy stardream cardstock the ornament is silver and I layered it with two heavy cardstock layers, The Merry also cut out of Silver posterboard and 3 additional layers were cut to elevate it .

Since I kput Merry on the front with no room for Christmas I added "and bright" ancient rub on from Stampin'up and a sentiment from Stampendous.
