Thank you to Tim and Mario for their stash of goodies to the winner.

I started with a Tim Holtz Assemblage Clock I had painted months ago.
So I figured I would finish it for this current challenge. Diana Wakely
White Gesso, Recollections Green Shimmer Spray.
The photo I usedI had bought sometime ago.
I loved this couple and always feel a good sense
when I look at the photo! I used the words: Out Story on the inside by their
picture. On the glass of the Assemblage Clock I stenciled the word: together.
The background paper is Graphic 45. I used Tim Holtz Industrious
Frames and Trims around the photo. And used one of Tims Bird
embellishments behind the photo. Small paper roses adorn the photo.
I used TH's Coin embellishment forever and the no#4. The ribbon
I had and felt it blended nicely with the color of the clock. And
the flowers wrapped around the side are from Prima. Small white
plastic beads, Mushroom Acholol ink.

Life has a been a collison course of late between the Earthquake here Napa.
Time now transitions into the grace of autumn
and fall where livid colors ignite the mind with the realization that color abounds
and so does the course of living.
Thanks for stopping by!

Namaste,

Tim Holtz Tag July 2014

Hello, here we are once again for the Tag of July of 2014.
I have to personally say, "I really enjoyed this entire process
for making this sweet tag. I used a 10in Tag by Ranger to
start with.  Since I had the Sea Horse and Sanddollar die
cut I went with that.

I used Tim's Bubbles Stencil to create the effect of bubbles along
with Wendy Vecchis Translucent Embossing paste. For my Seahorse,
Sanddollar, and Stars, I used Grunge Paper and then proceeded to
follow the steps Tim has laid out on his blog. I used a variation of color
to acheive my background. As for immediate brain fog I am going to
list the Distress Paints I used for the entire project: Salty Ocean, Peacock
Feathers, Broken China, Mustard Seed, Crushed Olive, Mowed Lawn,
Shabby Shutters, and Tumbled Glass, along with Black Soot.
On the Distress Inks I used some Vintage Photo. I tattered the edges
with Tims paper distresser. (Not correct name for it, but there you go!)
I used a Remnant Rub for the word: beautiful, and a Metal Tag of Tims
that reads: Discoveries.  For the seaweed I used the foliage from the
Pinecone Die cut in a chipboard then colored in with a variation of
Distress Paint from the above list. I added Glossy Accents over the
colored Foliage.

I used Distress Crackle paint on my Seahorse and Spritzed Black Soot
on my tag as Tim Instructed with his new Distress Spritzer. Also Distress
stain weathered wood. I used the Dark Blue Jute String for my word: Discovery.
I colored in the word band with Picket Fence/Salty Ocean.  I did distress the edges
to my tag with some Vintage Photo, and later Black Soot. For my SeaFoam
ie Sand I used a Sticky textured paste I had on hand and sprinkled the
color Orcher from the Antiquities embossing line. I used Pumice Stone
Distress Paint on Sanddollars and lightly embossed with the color Orcher,
and used Faded Blue Jean, and Orcher on the Starfish. I added a small
green embellishment for the Starfish.
