OWH - Sketch #201

Here is this week's card for Sketch #201 from Operation Write Home. I used the deer from the "Reindeer Print" set and the Season's Greeting sentiment from the "Many Merry Messages" set, both from Stampin' Up! Since my stamp was so large I substituted the ribbon for the horizontal piece that I wasn't able to accommodate in the background.

Tim Holtz - 12 Tags of 2013 (Dec)

This month's tag from Tim featured a product that I didn't have so I decided to recycle a free card that I received from the National Audubon Society. I started with a piece of navy card stock and applied silver ink through a burlap template. I distressed the edges and stamped snowflakes using the same silver ink. I stamped the sentiment on the border from the card and attached a small key from Stampin'  Up!  To finish the card I sprayed yellow glitter mist and attached a yellow piece of seam binding ribbon.

Tim Holtz - 12 Tags of 2012 (December)

What a great way to end a year of tags. This month's December tag is Christmas themed (of course) but there's also a bonus tag from January 2012.  Once again I'm using all Stampin' Up! products when available but there are two non Stampin' Up! items; the poinsettia bling and the crackle paint on January's tag.   Hopefully, I succeeded in demonstrating that you didn't have to go out and buy all new products to emulate Tim Holtz's technique.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog and I'd like to wish you all a safe and happy holiday season.  At the bottom of my post is a link to all 12 tags.  I can't say that I had a favorite but I was amazed every month at what I could create.
