April 2013 Tim Holtz Tag

Hi, guys!  Sorry in advance for the super short post, but time is a-ticking and I want to submit this tag for the Tim Holtz 12 Tags of 2013 for the month of April (which is almost up in a few hours!).

This month we learned how to give our projects a patina look using Distress Paints.  I am loving these paints, especially the metallics!  I must say, this tag was a hoot to make as I even got to do some finger painting on the embellishments!  So, Winnie's Inky Fingers are now Painted Fingers!

If you have time, I highly recommend you join in the fun and try making a tag of your own!  I can't wait to see what the May tag will be!

Good night all!  See you soon!

WOYWW 193 (MAKING TAGS)

Hi, guys! Hope all is well!  Today I am sharing what is on my work desk (WOYWW) and as you can see I am working on my February Tag for the 12 Tags of 2013 with Tim Holtz.  You can probably spy my new Distress Paints by Ranger that I broke out today.  They are fun to use and I love that they react with water.  One quality I like most is the "feel" of the paint on the surface.  It is smooth and soft, not like normal acrylic paint.

One thing about making these tags is that I end up pulling so many supplies out just for one tag!  It is fun though and I end up with the inky fingers I am known for!

Thanks for visiting today!  I am so enjoying sharing shots of my desk while creating.  Thank you to Julia for this fun activity of sharing!

Until next time!
