Tim's tag this month has to be one of my favourites to date, I thoroughly enjoyed using all the techniques and it never ceases to amaze me that you can make a beautiful rose from a pinecone die!
You can see Tim's tag HERE and since I pretty much followed his instructions I am not going to go into too much detail on mine.
For my background I used different colours to Tim - Weathered Wood Distress Paint and Gathered Twigs Distress Ink, using Tim's technique. I don't have the fancy Trellis Framework die because I opted to buy the Honeycomb one instead and I love it! I die cut and coloured my grunge paper one with Peacock Feathers DP and after sanding applied Gathered Twigs DI. It gives such a wonderful timeworn look.
Here is a closer look at the top of the tag with the mirrored Idea-ology sheet filling in some of the spaces and others filled using the Menagerie paper pad. I love the way the tissue tape still shows through the paint and ink in the background. I used Idea-ology jute string in two different colours at the top.
The roses and leaves are cut from the Vintage Shabby paper stack, the roses are coloured with Broken China DI and Wild Honey DI and the leaves have been left uncoloured. The ribbon is coloured with Worn Lipstick and Wild Honey DI's. You can see more of the mirrored sheet here at the bottom. I finished the tag with an Idea-ology tag (inspire) which was coloured with Broken China DP.
Thanks for looking, hope to see you again soon! Hugs, Anne xx
How lovely Anne, thanks for sharing...

ReplyDeleteWonderful take on the original Anne, love the colours you chose and your roses look fab!!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely fabulous tag! Your colours are wonderful. I love the honeycomb die, it's at the top of my wish list, I adore it! xx
ReplyDeleteIt made me think of a friends' garden Anne, she has a mirror on a wall and it is surrounded with climbers. At the bottom she has a delightful little pond. I love your tag. Xxx
ReplyDeleteGreat take on Tim's tag and lovely overall colour scheme. It's always good fun finding substitutions for stuff you don't have - I have to admit I'm tempted by that honeycomb one too! Elaine
ReplyDeleteI think I am just going to get sick right here and now! Anne - I spent all one day trying to make those danged tea roses and do I have one to show for a day's work? NO! Plus the fact I thought they looked too big to go on the tag. Do I have that Die? NO! I love it too - it adds a lot of interest especially with the mirrored card stock. I like the die you used - I like it better than the fancy one. Wonderful tag Sugar !!
ReplyDeleteHI Anne, I really like Tim's tag this month too and am determined to find the time to make it..but I really really love yours, beautiful colours and love the little mirror, hugs Carole Z X

ReplyDeleteOH...love the blues and golds! Gorgeous take Anne!!!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, as always. That mirror insert into your honeycomb die looked so much like a 'real mirror' that I thought at first, you had used tiny bits of glass. Love this die and the way you've used the silvery-blue colors on this tag. Beautiful rose too. TFS & Hugs
ReplyDeleteAnne,
ReplyDeleteThere is a real sense of elegance to this tag you created, possibly the colour palette and that dash of seam binding or maybe it is the composition - I love this.
