Simon Says Show A .... Tim Holtz Technique




Hello All ... The start of a new week see's a new theme over at Simon Says Stamp & Show where the lovely Linda E has asked us to show a "TIM HOLTZ TECHNIQUE" .... hmmm which one to choose lol. In a right muddle over which one to go for I opted to combine and adapt a number of techniques from A Compendium Of Curiosities pages 39,48,49 &50.

I have used Adirondack Paint Dabber in Snow Cap & Aqua, Distress Inks in Weathered Wood, Broken China, Vintage Photo & Walnut Stain. Stamps are from the Papillon set. The shimmer is from my new fav of favs Perfect Pearl Mists in Blue Patina.

Be sure to stop by the DT blogs for more info on their yummy projects and as always the generous sponsor Simon Says Stamp will be offering a $50 gift voucher to the lucky winner.

Oh Gillian...this is a stunner! Love the corrugated background tag. Wonderfully grungey and distressed! The dress form is lovely. Love the wings and the metal sash at the waist. The turquoise flower really pops against the muted teal dress form. Just beautiful! Thanks for sharing your work with us at Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge. <3 Candy
