Ever have one of those months where anything you try to create goes haywire? Grrr! It seems like that has happened to me this month. I skipped last months Tims Tag-I just didn't connect with it at all so I was determined to do this months. Check out the original
Here. This is my 2nd take, the first ended up in the recycle bin.
For the life of me, the background just did not turn out anything like the original but I had none, none, none, of the supplies he used. I only have 8 dies and 6 embossing folders so I did my own thing and it took forever. Lol. I didn't even have multi matte medium. When I opened the bottle is was hard and not usable at all, so I used Mod Podge.
I hand glued all of those little cutouts that usually get thrown away. Crazy much? And I did the technique like he explained but mine looks a lot different. :) It was an interesting time in my art room during this entire tag making session.
The man is a retired Captain that loved life on the open ocean. He excelled in many aspect of being a Captain but his favorite was learning how the entire shipped worked and fixing it if needed. He had to use what was around because he didn't always have access to parts or tools if his ship broke down (much like me not having the supplies used in the original tag) Maybe he is even thinking about how steam could have powered his ship.......then he could
come out of retirement and be the Captain of a Steampunk ship!
Too bad the weekend is over because my DH gave me an art gift for our anniversary and it is: Chemistry 101 with Tim Holtz! Yippee! But back to work tomorrow so I don't have time until Thursday to start this amazing new adventure. My first art "class". Thanks for stopping by and laughing along with my crazy antics. Y'all are awesome sauce! Carpe Diem! ~Niki
I would very much enjoy sharing this tag with these challenges:
Between all the mediums I used and extra bits this surprisingly has lots of texture.
I had to think waayyy outside the box for this tag and get very creative to complete this design. I used 7 different inks for this. Whew!
