12 TAGS OF 2012 - MARCH

A new month means a new tag from Tim Holtz. He said that March meant spring to him and he came up with yet another new technique - mosaic.
Here is my version of today's tag:

I don't have the lovely wood image stamp that Tim used, so I had a go with the woodgrain texture fade instead. It didn't come out as defined as the stamp, obviously, but you can just make out the grain. The butterfly movers and shakers are on my list of crafty needs (still have some Xmas craft vouchers) but as that is the case, I had to rummage around and find some pre-cut grunge butterflies instead. I stuck the 2 I found to a sheet of double-sided sticky stuff and began to cut them out. Not easy even with Tonic scissors. Then, I cut the mosaic bits from the little squares I still have from Tim's workshop last year.
Again, I have actually never seen any Ranger embossing powders so I used scented creamy vanilla which is the only one I could find remotely near the colour required. Trouble is, it isn't matt. Never mind, it did the trick and smelled gorgeous 'to boot'.
The rest, as they say, is history.
