A Vintage Journey. The theme of their very first challenge is Anything Tim.
What's so Timmy about this tag you may ask. The flying birds and the butterfly are Tim Holtz stamps. All coloring was done with distress markers and or ink pads. This tag fits into this month's tag challenge over at Tim Blog. I did try most of the techniques - well some of the techniques. I tried to do the smudging but after I stamped, the image would not smudge. The bigger flying bird I stamped by using several colors on the stamp but I did not put enough ink on the stamp. Now the exciting part, I used a Tim Holtz stencil and did exactly what he said to do with that handy dandy blower thingy. It was really quite fun. What I learned is, I need to use more ink so the stencil design will show. One more thing - I used a metal word band at the bottom and attached with the little Tim Holtz stapler. The band says - encourage your hopes, not your fears.
I am entering my tag into the following challenges:
A Vintage Journey - Anything Tim
Tim Holtz March Tag Challenge

Now how cool and totally Sandy is this! Love the look of all the different techniques and although I'm not much for nests in my hair, this one does look pretty good.
I like how the flock of birds is in the distance and then the one big yellow one is to the front. And... stapling the metal sentiment is very creative!
I love this! Worries always nest in my hair, I need to stop them! Love the images and techniques. Just brilliant! xx
Beautiful tag, love all the stamps you have used! And great idea not to let the worries nest in your hair, I must remember that one! bIg hugs, to you, Valerie

Fingers crossed Spring is coming we've had thick fog for 3 days and its been so cold...

Exquisite tag. I love the focal image, I want to say it is Character Construction but I am sure I am wrong with that - love your choice of sentiment - perfection.

Hi Sandy, I love your beautiful tag! I love your explanation of worrying too, the nest in her hair describes it to perfection. Your stamping is wonderful, the colours are beautiful and the composition of your tag is perfect! Well done for using the blower thing too - got mine today!! Thanks so much for joining in at A Vintage Journey, it is lovely to see you playing along with us. Hugs, Anne xx
Wotcha Sandy
Hope you are well. Fabulous design matey and very worthy of Sir Tim.
If you saw my hair, there's enough for a flock of birds to nest in hahaha.
Have a great weekend.

This is absolutely delightful, Sandy - as a take on the March tags, it works beautifully - I see all the techniques, and the lovely natural themes and delicate colours too. Love the main bird in the centre there, and the spritzing looks so cool! Lovely to have you join us on A Vintage Journey!

Love your take on Tim's tag Sandy...FABULOUS images, Love the background...Brilliant work... Hugs May x x
aaah Sandy I love your beautiful Tim tag with heavy overtones of Sandy in there, which in my mind is top hole my friend. I say this because it get pretty boring when everyone copies his designs and colours, where you have let yourself shine through. Hugs Annette x
Beautiful tag, Sandy

Look at you go! You're tackling those techniques that I find so intimidating...LOL...OH...I just got it...the sentiment on this tag is perfect for combating my fear of all things Timmy. This is FABULOUS and seeing as how my grandfather nicknamed me Bird...I'm rather partial to this creation.
