Tim Tag using Tim's leaves


I haven't used this Die from Tim Holtz yet so thought I better at least get it out of the box !!!
I bought this rust stuff (Porters Paints) that Marlene used on my birthday card, and I loved the look it gave, so I had to buy some..This is the first time I have used it, and the leaves were done with it, On Grunge paper.
I placed a real skeleton leaf on top of one of the leaves.
Papers were from Retro Grunge.I clear embossed it with some of his stamps,
distressed with his distress inks used his tissue tape and stamps.Also a bit of muslin.

Papillon Card re-made


I decided that the Papillon card I made earlier was too wishy washy, so I took the moths off, and re stamped them onto grunge and coloured them with dusty concord, now I think the moths stand out or pop out much better.
