Hello Everyone!
Today we had a fabulous lesson involving archival inks, alcohol inks & using embossing folders! I really enjoyed the class, but as always it's over way too quick. Once again I'll share my attempts at the techniques we were shown by Tim, I have to say I'm not entirely pleased with my attempts today but I made a promise to blog my 1st attempt at everything as I believe that's the only way I'll improve..........less babbling & here's today's tags.
Tag 1 - Using alcohol inks onto glossy card stock, colours as follows: wild plum, sailboat blue, red pepper, butterscotch & sunshine yellow. Gold mixative & blending solution. Stamps used were from Paperartsy, Creative Expression & of course Tim Holtz with some ideology cogs & clock spinner.
Tag 2 - Once again' glossy card stock, and Archival Inks - colours, Aqua, Carnation & Tangerine. Distress Inks - Brushed Corduroy. Stamps used are from Artistic Stamper (Dots) & again Timmy stamps.
Tag 3 - I used a size 8 manilla tag from Ranger, cuttlebug folder and the following colours of Distress Inks :-
Crushed olive, shabby shutters, tumbled glass, festive berrie. The heart stamp was a freebie from Craft Stamper Magazine.
I'm not really very pleased with the red area of the tag as I didn't blend it properly.......but, we live & learn!!
Hope you enjoyed my tags & please feel free to leave a comment, as I love to know what you think, it's great to get constructive feedback from your peers. Thanks for dropping in, Take care and as always.......
Happy Crafting!

I think the tags are all fabulous - if you dont like the blending on the last tag why dont you keep going over it with a different colour - try a green again and see what happens. Thanks for sharing and commenting on my blog too.
