Good Evening Girlz!
I went to the Tim Holtz blog at the beginning of January and have now put mine together from memory. I have a feeling it isn't even close to Tim's but.. a valiant effort! I will find out for sure when I check his after posting mine!
For my tag I had to improvise quite a bit. The sentiment is one that I picked out for the recipient of the tag. He is a friend of my son who has his degree and is now venturing into politics. I hope he likes it!
The gears were painted with silver paint and then once dry, rubbed with a VersaMark pad and sprinkled with Stampendous Aged Taupe Embossing Enamel and sprinkled with Zing Black glossy embossing powder.
The film strip that Tim used wasn't available here so I used a ticket die and acrylic from a Spellbinder package. I rubbed THoltz silver paint dauber and rubbed it in with my finger... and removed some as well. This gave it a cloudy effect.
Tim used a pointed finger stamp which I didn't have so I cut one out with my Cricut using the Going Places cartridge.
The tag itself was distressed and then I stamped the Hero Arts Watch Gears stamp using Vintage Photo. I quickly poured clear embossing powder over it all which gave it a nice glossy finish.
The strip with the sentiment was first stamped with Hero Arts Map of Americas using Distress Frayed Burlap. The edges were distressed and then I used Vintage Photo on the edges.
My ribbon was first stamped with Archival Black, dried and then rubbed in Distress Honey. It didn't turn out as I had hoped but... you live and learn!
Here are some closer views so you can see what I have been talking about!
The recipe is...
Stamps - Hero Arts Clock Gears and Map Of Americas
Inks - Distress Iced Spruce, Wild Honey, Vintage Photo, Gathered Twigs
VersaMark
Embossing Powders - Ranger Super Fine Clear, Stampendous Aged Taupe Enamel, Zing
Dies - Tim Holtz Gears
Cricut - Going Places Cartridge
Paper - Recollections, Staples 110 lb.
Seam Binding
Thanks for looking!
