12 Tags of 2014 – January

Tim Holtz 12 Tags of 2014 January
Tim Holtz 12 Tags is back for 2014. I hesitate to state my intention to complete all 12 tags this year, but I have to at least put it out there! 😉

I absolutely adore this month’s tag and it’s reminded me how much I love metal foil embossing. Here is my take on January’s tag, using the techniques Tim demonstrates.

Probably the less said about my stencil addiction the better!

I hadn’t tried sanding the rub-ons before, but it’s such a great distressed effect and the rub-ons are such a pleasure to use.

I got the ornate frame die for Christmas and have been waiting to use it. This seemed like a perfect substitute for the large pocket watch die, which I don’t have, (yet)!

True to form this is very last minute, but the benefit is I don’t have to wait long for the next one…
