gift bag ala t!m holtz - tag #3


my project uses Julee's mojo monday sketch ->


and is my take on T!m's tag #3 from last years 12 tags of christmas:




the stamps are from inkadinkado - Holiday Classics available now. i stamped them with versamark and carefully covered them with different colors of distress embossing powders. i inked the edges with matching distress inks. grungeboard pieces are painted using espresso & gold paint dabbers. Buttons are SEI and along the bottom one of those beautiful pieces of german scrap i mentioned before.......a little distress stickles just because....

remember i have the kit available to order at 10% off!!
i used it for a gift bag - i love the way it turned out!


now how about a little giveaway today???????? can you guess where i used some alcohol ink to "color match" something to my liking??? leave me a post and tell me where you think it is. up for grabs.........hhhmmmmmm


how about a grungeboard bracket book!!!!!


i will take entries ALL WEEK and announce a winner next saturday morning 11/15 at 8 am so spread the word!

  1. What a great bag to deliver gifts in. Great design. I think you color coated the brads or the berries on the swirl. Wonderful work.

  12. Gosh I need to catch up with all the fabulousness in your blog. I've been so remiss as of late. Sorry :(

    This is beautifully done. It looks to me like you used the inks on the skittles/dew drops/similiar on the tag that has the 25.

    And I love the look of those distress stickles! I can really see the difference in their consistency in this project!

  17. Long time reader first time poster! HAHAHAHA

    My guess is that it's on either the crown charm or the green button!

  20. My first thought was the buttons, but the more I look at the crown i am thinking that that is where the alcohol inks came in! Either way, faabulous bag!

  22. Hi, I think you used the alcohol inks to alter the color of the brads around the #25 and on the crown in the top right hand corner. Thanks for the contest. Linda S.

  23. how about the crown charm and/or the brads holding the #25??

  24. Lovely work:). My guess is for the embellishments that deal with the brads and the crown. I am really not sure as they match so well.
