Tim Holtz 2012 Tags September

Now, if you think I am way out of my comfort zone , you would most certainly be right.  I had such fun making this tag and I followed Tim's tutorial to the letter, but  as I've only started my collection of all things Tim, so  I hope he won't mind that I've used what I had in my stash to create my  Tag for September 2012.   I used the alcohol inks in Denim, Terracotta and Butterscotch to add the colour to the metal and what a lovely surprise when I saw the colours mixed to-gether.  At this point I really didn't want to use the steel wool to sand it down,  but I did and here is the result.  My nib was one of TH stamps that I stamped and rusted a little bit to make it look aged.  Most of the pieces I used under the metal sheets were a pull ring, chinese coins, and a supersize paper clip.  I think I have covered most of how I made my Tag.  I hope you will give this technique a try as its so much fun watching it all come to-gether.   Enjoy your day.
