What luck! I was able to combine the
Simon Says Stamp & Show blog challenge (use a Tim Holtz technique) with the
Grungy Monday 19 challenge (
Christmas tag 2010, Day 10) and create a holiday tag for my collection.
The Grungy Monday portion you can figure out when you've read all about it in Tim's tutorial. The technique I chose was Dabber Resist from the
Compendium of Curiosities, page 37; it was used on the skeleton.
TH/Sizzix: Pumpkin Patch embossing folder, Tag & Bookplates die
TH stamps: Trick-or-Treat, Mini Halloween
Ranger: all distress ink colors except blue, Jet Black and Sienna Archival Inks, Black Soot Distress Stickles
Misc: EK Success spider punch, rusty safety pin, stained gauze, fibers, recylcled old packaging
This was a great combination of techniques and I can see myself using it over and over in the future.
