What a fantastic tag! Great inspiration. Hugs, Autumn
Gorgeous Tim-inspired tag! Love your color combination and wonderful composition! Of course those numbers are perfect! Thanks so much for joining as at Creative Carte Blanche!
Carol, this tag is just the coolest! I really love your background colors and the Tim Holtz technique that you used to create it. The diecut cogs look awesome and I love that "creepy kids' stamp, as Tim refers to it. Really a beautiful job! I also wanted to thank you for stopping by my blog and leaving such a nice message.
Wow, wow, wow! This is truly a piece of art! I love the way you mixed the colors so beautifully and how you kept it vibrant, but rustic and vintage at the same time. Great use of eclectic elements and I love the end result! Thanks for sharing such an inspiring piece with us for this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!
