TIM'S 12 TAGS OF CHRISTMAS 2010 - #2

I was amazed by the cut n dry felt technique today. I remembered Tim showing us this in 2007 but never tried it. Actually, I had only just started to move away from toppers and matting by that time!
Trouble was, I didn't have any felt and as today's tag was really about that particular technique, I just had to go and get some.
I used Tim's pine stamp, not the one he used today 'cos I don't have that one, and coloured the 'custom' stamp with re-inkers forest moss, peeled paint, walnut stain and vintage photo.





Just look at the amazing result. It's brilliant.








I did all the stamping he suggested plus all the distressing.

and ended up with this so far.







Next came the ribbon and fiddly bits ie. I had to make my own baubles.









However, after enjoying myself once more thanks to the wonderful Mr Tim, I ended up with this.
Hope you are enjoying these 12 days just as much, even if you are only looking and learning. See you tomorrow.
