Louise W adores everything Tim Holtz creates so when given the challenge to make something using his products it didn't prove difficult! His metal designs are an absolute favourite and their detailing adds the finishing touch to any layout or off the page project.
She started with a configurations box, which she covered with Tim Holtz printed masking tape and hot glued the boxes into position, pulling some of them out slightly for interest. She then added ornate feet, keyhole charms, door knobs, wings, a crystal and some film strip as ribbon. She tied the look together with some Twiddleybitz chipboard and Prima flowers and now has a lovely family keepsake with a slight steampunk edge.
Jane used the Tim Holtz idea-ology Paper Stash crowed attic paper with the lady designer pattern on it and salvage stickers. She then created a flower using Tim Holtz Kraft Glassine by die-cutting flower petals, scrunched them up and applied Tim Holtz distress stains on top for colour.
Jane also coloured Tim Holtz white trimming with the vintage linen distress stain to age it, then added a trimmed Adage ticket 'Adore' to finish it off.
Jane created a jewellery set for a very special friend using Tim Holtz mini bead chain, facets, Paper Stash crowded attic butterfly paper in small squares and the Epiphany Crafts shaped studio tool round 14mm, settings and a collection of butterfly and keyring charms. The package has enough ball chain to create the necklace and the bracelet.
Louise spotted this tag by Anna-Karin Evaldsson and with all the lovely stamping, cogs and inking it was obvious that Anna-Karin is also a big fan of Tim Holtz. Louise particularly liked the use of the new Tim Holtz Kraft Glassine paper for the cogs. Thanks for letting us share Anna-Karin!
Another tag that Louise spotted in the galleries was this amazing mixed media creation from Roberta Cardoni. Roberta's used a selection of Tim's inks as well as a mask and the new corked vials to create a stunning piece of art with a definite nautical feel. Thanks Roberta!
Finally, we thank Sarah Schwerin for allowing us to share these beautiful bookmarks. We loved the background stamping details. These would be a beautiful addition to any book. Thanks Sarah.
