My March attempt : TH's 12 tags of 2012


As I am sure most of you know Tim Holtz is doing a set of tags for each month of 2012.  Well I managed to get a bit of time to have a go at a tag based on his latest technique and tag - faux mosaic.  Unfortunately I didn't have a butterfly die but instead used the umbrella man die.  I used a copper embossing powder to act as the 'cement' between the 'mosaic tiles' and did a slightly different background for my tag-  used distress stain, background stamping and then used perfect pearl mist copper through a stencil and edged the tag with brown acrylic paint; all finished off with a bit of tissue tape.  Really enjoyed doing this one and it was really easy to do!
