You know what? It really is the most wonderful time of the year! As you almost certainly know, Tim Holtz launched the 2011 edition of his beloved 12 Tags of Christmas today, meaning we're all going to get a spectacular crash course in awesome techniques both old and new, discover clever uses of his abundant product selection, and experience the warm, wonderful knowledge that we're part of a huge, worldwide crafting community playing together for the next 12 days. What a beautiful way to kick off winter, don't you think?Click here to see Tim's post for Tag 1, and check out his gorgeous work of art for today. You'll also learn the secrets of making fabulous foliage using his cool Tattered Pinecone and Festive Greenery dies!
I followed Tim's instructions nearly verbatim for my own piece; the only deviation is the color of the "Noel" piece (I painted the Grunge Board with Adirondack Paint in "Stream" then used "Lagoon" Stickles for the glitter). Oh, and I added a little snowbird, because, well, I just love little birds!
Are you playing along? I hope so! I'm heading over to see all the submissions at Tim's blog right now, and from what I hear, they're amazing!
See you tomorrow!
Hugs,
Linda
