Hello Friends
A quickie post, I am a bit late this month, I have been busy making Christmas cards, but I finally took some time off to create my Tim Tag.
You can see Tim's original HERE. This is my second attempt, the first one had too many
Remnant Rubs on it so I toned it down for this one...
I loved the look of the white Remnant Rubs against the blue and silver background. I pretty much followed Tim's tutorial, just used fewer colours - Broken China, Evergreen Bough and Tumbled Glass as I wanted a cool wintry feel.
I love this skate stamp, it comes out every year! I gently shaded it with Antique Linen, Hickory Smoke and Brushed Pewter (for the blades).
I just added some seam binding, dyed with Broken China Distress Stain and an Idea-ology snowflake coloured with Alcohol Ink. Such a shame that the blue foiling around the edges has not been picked up by the camera though....it looks so pretty!
Thanks for looking, hope to see you again soon - can you believe it is less than
four weeks to Christmas.....
Hugs, Anne xx
Oh I love this Anne. Think you were right to balance the Remnant Rubs with that deep blue background as it contrasts perfectly with the skate and lettering. Beautiful version xx
ReplyDeleteOh wow, Anne, this is absolutely stunning!! Perfect take on Tim's tag!! I love the background colors and the details you added!! It looks amazing!! This is the first month I don't have my tag done yet and I'm stressing...just a couple of days left!! Thanks for the inspiration my friend!! Have a great day!! Big hugs :)

ReplyDeleteGorgeous tag Anne ..... I love the white against the blue background xx
ReplyDeleteEvery time I see something of yours with a Skate on I wish I had bought either the die or the stamp. You create some beautiful things with them and this tag is no exception. Love the white rubs on the background - fab tag!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Neet xx

ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful tag Anne! I love the blue white and silver on this - I can just feel the chill! Julia xx
ReplyDeleteIt's really beautfiul Anne. Especially love that blue/green background, all the white pops, and the subtle inking on skate. I can catch peeks of the blue foil where the light has caught it in parts so can imagine how gorgeous it must look in the hand. Nicola x
ReplyDeleteGlad you found time to make this - its beautiful. I love the brown with the bluey-green background and that skate stamp obviously came in useful! Elaine x
ReplyDeleteAwesome tag Anne! I love the colours and your design. (Nice to meet you at MoM by the way;)
ReplyDeleteyour use of colour is perfect Anne - I adore what you have done - that skate pops beautifully! Big hugs rachel x
ReplyDeleteAnne this is gorgeous!!! it looks like it glows!! love that we both did winter themes!
ReplyDeleteI wish, I wish, I wish I could ice skate. Now who am I kidding - we don't get snow and ice here in Florida and I cannot walk without falling. I am such a klutz! Once again I am amazed at your productivity.

What? Too many remnant rubs? Impossible! I love when you bring out the skate, Annie! You always get the shading JUST right and, speaking of, the blues (and the ribbon) are especially stunning!! Hugs, Darnell xxoo
ReplyDeleteLove!!! Love the rubs in the background and beautiful blue and live the ice skate too. Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteLove!!! Love the rubs in the background and beautiful blue and live the ice skate too. Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful tag Anne!! Love the brilliant blue background, such a lovely wintery backdrop for your wonderful ice skates image!! The cork across the bottom works so well with your design, and I must say the photographs are very bright and professional looking as well!! Beautiful wintery creation! hugs :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful interpretation of Tim's tag Anne, love the wintery colour palette and the skate is fabulous! Deb xo
ReplyDeleteJust popping in to say brilliant makes lately, Anne! Have seen you on Facebook and hope to have more regular visits soon - I am always inspired by your work!! xxx Lynn
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely. Very icy feel with those blues (like the blueprint overstamping behind the nifty skate). I love the pewter metal on the skate blade...I never think to use that. It looks much nicer than using silver WoS would have Like the blues and touches of brown. Looks very rustic with the corrugated paper too. TFS & Hugs. Happy wkend too.
ReplyDeleteAnne, your version of Tim's tag is absolutely stunning! The background turned out perfectly and I love your genius idea to use the pewter on the skate blade! The combination of blues and brown is my favourite! I love, love, love your fantastic tag, my friend! Big hugs! Branka xx
ReplyDeleteI always love it when your skates come out to play! Fabulous depth of colour in your icy background, especially with that silvery crackled area just behind the boot... what a gorgeous take on Tim's inspiration. Love it!

This is such wintry gorgeousness! Such a lovely feel to it - love the skate, beautifully coloured - and the background is fab! Love the addition of the pretty seambinding with the cute snowflake! xxx
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely stunning Anne!! And do you dye your own ribbons? xx
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous Anne, a fantastic design full of interest and I love the colours.
ReplyDeletehugs, Sue xx
Sorry to be late, but better late than never! Anne, you have taken Tim's techniques and raised them to the highest level of creativity! Your blue background is truly lovely, as is your layered sentiment! Of course, you should use the skate! I cannot even look at a pair of skates without you coming to mind! This is the prettiest version of Tim's Nov. tag! Sending hugs!
ReplyDeleteHi Anne, I've spent awhile back tracking through your posts and I'm in awe of your creations ... Oh my so many gorgeous things here ... I'll be visiting a lot more often! Thanks for the inspiration and have a wonderful Christmas!
ReplyDeleteYour colour combo and design on this tag is just stunning Anne, a work of art.

Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThere is a lovely nostalgia to this tag. The white skate reminds me of the skates my Mum wore as a young woman, long before I was a twinkle in her eye (LOL).
Anne, thank you so much for taking the time to comment and to visit That's Crafty. You need to know I appreciate it very much.
Wishes
Lynne
