April 2015 Tim Tag




Happy Easter!  Tanya is here for a few days visiting my son, so after our family dinner with the Curleys at Legal Seafood, Tanya & I decided to make the latest Tim Tag!  Every month Tim creates a tag chock full of techniques, and he gives step by step instruction with pics so you can try all the techniques.

This month's tag is so gorgeous, we pretty much copied it exactly.  We used the same stamps & colors as Tim, but we had to get creative with the sayings since I still haven't received my script or block words yet.  You can see Tim's tag, with all the instructions here on his blog.


Here's a close up of the beautiful watercolor coloring on the flowers.


I got a new Brother sewing machine for Christmas that I could dedicate just to paper crafts, and we took it for the first test drive tonight!  Somehow, I ended up with a small zig zag stitch, but we loved it some much, Tanya did it on hers as well.  It was a little tricky around the corners, and a little tense, but it came out great!

Here's Tanya's tag ...
 

Her background came out with larger bursts of color, and I think it looks magnificent with the pink flowers!


Beautiful coloring on her flowers!


She's giving this tag to her cousin, so she chose "forever family", cause Chantal can't get rid of her!  haha
