July Tag a La Tim

 Today has truly been a CHALLENGE day.... yikes... this is forth and fifth challenges..  yikes... am I addicted to this??? I think so... and I love it... I love sharing and doing all these fun things... also learning about all the different ways to use things...  


So this month Tim had us do a technique that is so fun.. one of my all time favorites... I love the look that the mixative gives to the inks... I don't have canned air... so I used a straw and blew the ink around the paper... and love the different looks I got... I did quite a few and have a few on here to share with you... if you haven't tried this one.. you really should... it is really wild...  love it...  




 I wanted to move onto the next step... so I used my heat gun.. and the mixitive 'bubbled' up a little bit... for a really nice bit of texture.... I love that kind of thing...  


I also grabbed the Olive Archival ink... vs the Black... oops... big time oops... but that is okay... I love it anyway... not as intense as the black would have been...  so this is great... 
 Using time... living time to the fullest...  living in the moment....  all of these things are my mantras now... as I am loving all the fun things in my life...  wow... what a fun time...  




 At the beginning of this I decided that I really wanted a pastel tag... so I used Sherbert and also pool... and then juniper... so I got a fun color scheme with that... 
 I also tried the sherbert and the pool with cranberry... thinking  and hoping that the mixative would calm down the cranberry... but not enough... so I tried one more... 
I used three greens... and then lemonade and peach Bellini...  think these are the correct names... but you get the idea anyway... 
So I used the first one for this tag... but these other ones will be saved and used for something else...  





So I used so of my Alcohol inks... and had a blast...  I really do enjoy them...  and will be teaching a class on the 26th of this month down at Scrapbook Creations...  for details please go here...  

This tag is for two challenges... one is for Tim Tag of the month

And the other one is for Stamper Sunday...  Hels asked us to use Silver...  

So if you want to learn detail by detail how to make this tag background etc... go to Tim's site for all the details... you will be glad you did...  

Hey... have a fun day... enjoy creating something fun... and thanks for stopping by for a visit...  Love, Light and Peace...Bonnie

  1. Your pastel tag with the olive-colored stamping is DELICIOUS! I actually think it wouldn't be as beautiful and ethereal had you used black ink for the stamp!

    I like the other two as well, especially the green one ... reminds me of guacamole and fresh-cut grass and margarita limes ... no wonder I like it!
