simon says... a tag or ATC

Howdy, and a Happy Independence Day to my fellow Americans! :) Wow, can you believe we're already into July? Where has the year gone? I seriously need a PAUSE button, ha!

Well, it's Wednesday, and time for another challenge over at the Simon Says Stamp challenge blog! :)


This one is all about making a tag or ATC, and we were asked to use Tim Holtz products on our creations. With the exception of the Distress Inks, I don't have a lot of other Timmy products (*gasp* I know.. must fix, ASAP). But I do have the awesome Psychedelic Grunge stamp set, so I used that:


I've never made an ATC before, so I went with a tag... which turned into two, since the first one came together so quickly! :) However, they both employ the same technique:

1. sponge Distress Inks all over a glossy card stock tag
2. pick a stamp, & mist it with water instead of inking it up
3. stamp your tag, & then watch the image appear like magic!

It's a very cool technique. One I should really do more often! My daughters have already called "dibs" on these to use as bookmarks for their summer reading selections. :)

Now it's your turn! Create your tag or ATC (using Timmy products not required, but definitely encouraged), and link it up HERE, by 7am EST next Wednesday (7-11-12), and you'll be in the running for a generous voucher from sweet Heidi...
