Another tag just in time for the end of the month! I have been able to make all of my Tim Tags of 2016 this year, even if they all are cutting it close. This one has a bit of a "manly" feel to it, and I love the texture and the colors and the extra something you get with the addition of the Tarnished Brass Distress Spray Stain.
Here's a close up of all that texture and spray on the top:
And all the fun Idea-ology goodness on the bottom:

This week the theme for the challenge over at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog is Monochrome. Use your favorite color or why not challenge yourself to work with a color that you don't normally choose? This week I am working with all the purples in the distress line:
I created this tag by painting it with Shaded Lilac Distress paint then stamping by spraying Wilted Violet Distress Spray Stain on a Ranger non stick craft sheet and dipping my stamp from the Halftone and Rings set into it. I layered more stamps from the Big Top set and added a flash card, some tissue tape and a mirrored star to finish off my tag.
Be sure to stop back and play along with us in a new challenge each Monday!

This week the theme for the challenge over at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog is Make A Wish!
I made this little tag this week as a reminder to keep on believing. I started off by painting two tags with Distress Paint in Mustard Seed and Victorian Velvet, and cutting one with the Mixed Media 2 die and layering them together. I added Alphanumeric Marquee letters, some remnant rubs, big chat and a mirrored star. I finished the tag up with some Crinkle Ribbon colored with Distress Stain and a spritz with my marker spritzer.

This week the theme for the challenge over at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog is Felt That! All that felt you've been collecting? Time to put it to use:
For my project this week I used the Simon Says Stamp Pastel Felt Sheets to cut out a bunch a hearts using the Tim Holtz Sizzix Heartfelt die. I stamped my sentiment from the Handwritten Thoughts set and created a background around the sentiment using gesso through a mini Stencil from the Mini Stencil 7 set. I applied Distress paints using my fingers in Cracked Pistachio, Squeezed Lemonade and Dried Marigold to color my background, then adhered the felt hearts to the card.

This week the theme for the challenge over at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog is Emboss It! Use embossing powder, embossing folders or even embossing paste :)
For my project this week, I used the Ornate Frame 2 Sizzix Die to highlight my stamped image from the Tim Holtz Evolution set. I stamped my image and placed the frame where I wanted it to be then, traced a pencil line inside the framed area and painted over the area outside the line with Distress Collage Crazing medium. I then colored over the crazing with Distress Crayons and rubbed them in with my fingers. I embossed the frame with Ranger Black Embossing Powder and also went over the frame with Distress Crayons for some colorful texture.

This week the theme for the challenge over at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog is Home Decor and the design team is using Prima products. This week I created a burlap panel with embellishments. I am working on setting up a new craft room and wanted to make a piece using the Tim Holtz Mosaic die. I cut out a bunch of mosaics and painted them, and added different collage papers, a curio knob, a salvaged doll, and a philosophy tag. I used some Prima Licorice Art Ingredients to give my project a little added texture.
