Gear(s) for hair.. Hey, I made it rhyme! Well, almost..

Here's a card that I made for Hobbykunst a while back, for their Tim Holtz wall..

I thought it would be cool to give this gorgeous classical face a contrast, and came up with using gears for hair..

Detail:

The gears are made from grungeboard, embossed with Distress Embossing powder Vintage Photo and inked with Distress Ink Rusty Hinge to give the rusty effect.

Dies used are Tim Holtz Alterations Gadget Gears (Bigz) and Gears (movers and shapers).

Stamp is from Tim's set Classics no 5.

Cardstock from Core 'dinations.

Thanks for stopping by my place!

Tim Holtz tags

I love making tags!
I Love (capital L..) Tim Holtz' products!

I Love Tim's techniques!

And when Connie at Hobbykunst asks for Tim tags, guess who's the happy crafter?!

Here are the ones I've made so far..

They've all incorporated techniques from Creative Chemistry 102.

 Embossing through layering stencil - rusted enamel

 Chalking technique

Mixed media technique

I never get tired of Tim's products and techniques!!

Thanks for looking :)

Gift bag Tim Holtz style

I made this gift bag for my brother in law who had his birthday earlier this week. I figured that a boring present (two Björn Borg boxers and some chocolate) needed a not so boring wrapping...!

that cause beautiful things to happen"

Helt klart, så absolutt! Tim Holtz har det med å finne flotte sitater og ordtak. Tekststemplene hans er rett og slett magnifikante (et ord jeg sjelden - nei, aldri - bruker..)!
