PLAY ON

I had this glaring white shadow box frame...fortunately, I also had Tim Holtz products....I think I used all of them....just kidding. First I used ginger alcohol ink to change the color of the plastic like frame...then I grudgingly dipped into my new paper... I am a hoarder.... using paper from the lost and found pad I covered the back with music paper, cut out a clock and mounted it grunge board and added a game spinner. found an image I liked of a boy playing the fife....everything was inked with vintage photo and wild honey....my favorites...... I popped them out with doubled sided tape from the home improvement store at different levels sure made nice depth and shadows. A coffee filter sprayed with distress ink and perfect pearl mixture made the very delicate rose for the corner. The font I used for "play on" was tilez. Glossy accents hold the box feet in place on the bottom, I decided to grab my alcohol ink pen and knock back the color a bit on the feet. Digging back into my new papers, this time the retro grunge, cuttlebuged a scalloped hexagon and fan folded a top accent with a bead from an old necklace for the center.

What a Wonderful Friday.....

3 classes with Tim Holtz in Akron. what a wonderful giving teacher. The team worked like a well oiled machine to make everything go smoothly. Much was easily accomplished in a restricted time frame thanks to fabulous planning. A big thank you to Mario and Darcy for all their help. The first 2 classes were tags mainly to focus on technique....and boy, did we. Little tricks that expand the uses of Ranger products, from distress pads to alcohol ink. All I can say about the new alterations dies from sizzix is WOW. So many applications and they are just perfect.....the texture fades are just awesome. We also put alot of the idea-ology item to work on our projects. Again perfection.Stampers anonymous gave us an atc stamp, I thought that was very generous of Ted. So all in all,not only is Tim a charmer but a "think out side the box kinda designer". If you can, try to squeeze into one of his classes......This man does not disappoint.
