Tag #3

This is my interpretation of Tim's Christmas Tag #3.  I liberally substituted products since I had almost nothing Tim used, besides Distress Ink.  I liked Tim's tag because of the look of letterpress embossing and the exuberant colors.  But, oh my, Tim's was a complicated process.  What I did was use a texture fade to emboss the PostCard image, then 1)carefully ran a clear ink stamp pad over some of the words, then carefully brushed on different colored Perfect Pearl powder to the stamped section only, or 2)used a Q-tip to apply Distress Ink to some words.  Then I sprayed the tag with Perfect Pearl Mist in Heirloom Gold to set the powder, followed by inking all edges with Vintage Photo Distress (to age and try to cover up some of the ink/powder that got onto the tag background). For the greenery I substituted millinery velvet flowers and tiny ornament "berries".  Finally, I used a muse token in place of the jingle bell...INSPIRE as an homage to Tim for all that he gives to his fans.   Oh, this is so much fun!
