Tag Tuesday - Friends

I'm revisiting "An Altered Journey," a DVD with Tim Holtz. I think I've had it 4 or 5 years and it has been a while since I've viewed it.

For Louise's Tag Tuesday challenge (friends), I used Tim's brayer embossing technique with metallic tape and some wonderful alcohol inks . The "dear friend" stamp is from Stampin' Up's Dear Friend set.

(scanned)

I decided to go sort of generic with these tags, not using an image (dog or person). One uses concave and one uses convex die/punch cuts.

    When I saw the thumbnail pictures I thought to myself "These look interesting". Up close they are brilliant. Well worth a re-visited Journey.

    A cool idea, Faye, with the metallic tape. Love finding new ways to use the alcohol inks. It made a great focal point on your tag.

    Tim's videos are always so much fun; he's really a good teacher, isn't he? Cute tags with that technique, Faye.
