A Bit of Steampunk Inspiration

To get you thinking of joining the Steampunk ATC exchange in September, I thought I would share this Steampunk style tag I created.! Steampunk is often a fantasy of gears, machines, steam, victorian, so a lot of fun to Play with.

Tim Holtz's Tag

 I have been working on Tim's tags and so far this is what I have finished.....May's 2012 tag

I changed a couple of things from what Tim did, I stamped the dress form twice, once on the tag and once on craft paper I then cut it out and mounted it over the stamped image on the tag, I raised it   giving it deminsion, I also used 3 of his pins as legs for the dress form.  If  I were to do this tag again I would use small paper roses (I didn't have roses at the time)  and  mist color on them instead of using inks. (I still might do this and just replace the flowers as I am not happy with them),

  Now I think I will try and get the other 3 I have started finished....lol.

Tim's Holtz August Tag

Hard to believe that it's August 1st, but it must be because Tim has his tag for August posted. And I think this has to be one of my favorites.

         I have been trying to keep up with Tim's tags, so far I have one completed and three started.  How about you anyone doing Tim's tags?
