Today Tim Holtz made an unusual tag. De background is a collage of the mini Christams stamps. I used the normal size Chistmas stamps. With the inkblending tool I applied Distress ink Antique Linen, Peeled Paint and Fired Brick. I always like to accentuate things with the White gel pen.

Because I don't have the metal corners I had to come up with something completely different to fabricate a roof for the trinket. You can see how I did that in the following pictures. A bit overdone perhaps, but I'm quit proud of the results!

Cut a roof from cardstock with scissors with enough space to fold it later around the frame. Take some silverfoil, color it with alcohol ink and crumple it.

Fold the silverfoil around the cardstock roof.

Glue the roof to the frame. Apply Paint dabber with a toothpick to make snow with icicles. I used Pearl. The word on the pin is "thoughts". The words together make: "Share Thoughts" and that is exactly what I'm trying to accomplish here!
Als je dus de materialen niet hebt dan moet je verder denken! Je wilt niet weten hoeveel "foute dakjes" ik geknipt heb en weggegooid! Maar blijf proberen. Er komt vanzelf iets dat wel past!
Veel plezier vandaag met je eigen creaties en tot morgen!
If you do not have the materials needed, you need to think outside the box! You really don't want to know how many "faulty roofs" I cut and threw away! But keep trying and something will emerge beneath your hands that will fit!
Have fun today with your own creations and see you tomorrow!
