Hi Again,
Well here is my attempt at the Tim Holtz Tags of 2013 for April.
Tim’s tutorial can be seen on his blog, where he covers ‘step by step’, a wonderful patina effect using Ranger Distress Paints, including the lovely new metallic range. http://timholtz.com/12-tags-of-2013-april/
Whilst not sure I have created a ‘patina’ effect (perhaps more mottled?), I love the way the background turned out, even though I don’t have the new metallic Distress Paints here in Oz as yet. I did use a combination of distress inks, alchohol inks and silk acrylic paints, and the colours and sheen look amazing in real life. Even the ribbons which look like a different colour in the photo combo, blend in well with the tag in person.
Hope you enjoy my take on this tag, really enjoyed getting messy and creating it. The bonus was it was surprisingly quick to do for something with so many techniques, most new to me. That can only be a good thing, and inspire more efforts of this type:)
