12 Tags of 2015 | August

12 tags of 2015, August | timholtz.com
Hey everyone! I am back today with August’s Tag I created as part of Tim Holtz’s 12 tags of 2015. Right down to the wire on this one, posting it on the last day of the month- that’s just how I roll sometimes! You can see my other tags here.

I didn’t want my tag to be quite as dark as Tim’s. I love the technique of putting gesso all over, letting it dry- then rubbing distress inks all over and mixing it with matte medium. You get such yummy texture- LOVE IT! I also used the new Ground Espresso Distress Ink to add the smudges around the girl, and to ink the edges of my tag.

Remember Tim Holtz gives awesome step by step directions with a photo tutorial- easy to play along!

Here are some close up photos so you can see all the details:
