Here's my tag for the July Tags of 2012 inspired by the amazing Tim Holtz. This month Tim came up with yet another gorgeous tag full of ideas and clever techniques - I don't know how he keeps coming up with new ideas all the time! I had to improvise quite a bit ...
Tim created brilliant "splats" by dripping alcohol inks onto glossy cardstock and then blasting with a can of air and then he stamped onto this with archival ink.
Not having any glossy cardstock or canned air, I improvised by dropping my alcohol inks onto acetate and then I blasting it with a used-up asthma inhaler! (no drugs left in it, but still has "puff"). The image was stamped onto white card with the acetate as an overlay.
Then I added lots of other bits and pieces, including one of the many union jack beer bottle tops which my husband has gallantly collected for me!
It's well worth a visit to the Tim Holtz blog to see how it should be done :)
