It's December 1st and you know what that means! Tim's Tag Time!!
Woo hoo!!
And of course I had absolutely none of the products Tim Holtz used for his gorgeous tag.
And I do mean none.
So I went all MacGyver, as usual.
Check it out....
I tried really hard to capture the cool layers and the depth of the colors, but the Shrink Plastic I used is too shiny.
That's right.
I used Ranger's Shrink Plastic and didn't shrink it.
Heh.
I stamped and fussy cut the poinsettia and I die cut the leaves. I used alcohol ink pens to color them. To make the veins in the leaves, I drug the tip of a kinda dry alcohol pen down each leaf, removing the color.
I used 3D Glue Dots to adhere the flower and flat glue dots to adhere the leaves.
I stamped the sentiment in Versamark and used black embossing powder.
Thanks so much for dropping by today--especially if you're visiting from Tim's blog! And happy first day of Advent!! =D

Way to go Cynthia! He always manages to catch us out with a lack of the principle ingredients...I too am thinking shrink plastic (frosted) but have another idea to try too :-). See you on here again soon and well done on coming up with the tag on the 1st.

Cynthia, your flower came out great! I'm doing the I-shoulda-had-a-V8 forehead slap, because I totally didn't think of alcohol inks to color my plastic packaging -- great idea. Nice attention to detail, with the fussy cutting and leaf veining.
Cynthia, your tag is so pretty!
Cynthia, I think your colors are very vibrant. I wish mine would have been a bit brighter. Love your tag. Thanks for stopping by!
