Tim Holtz 12 Days of X'mas Tags - #2

good evening!! well, it is day two of the TAG challenge on Tim's blog! can you believe it, he had over 3300 comments on his blog yesterday! jeepers, i have not even had half that many people visit my blog! the man has serious fans..............anyway, here is my take on his tag for today! he used his metal foliage flowers to MAKE a rose - i, of course, do not own such beauties, but i had this leftover PRIMA rose and leaves from the Scrapbook Convention! the main technique here was the splashing of the perfesct pearls with your brush - those golden drops all over the tag. Tim has detailed instructions on his blog. once again, i am so limited with his stamps, i had to use a PRIMA frame and the same wording as yesterday's tag (yes i know, i promise i won't use it again tomorrow!!!!) and i had to use frayed burlap distress EP instead of Antique Linen, but it was all i had!! i also don't own the flourish stamp he used, but i had another one of his - so i just improvised!! it was quick and because i did not have to MAKE a flower (you guys really have to watch him do this) it was quite easy!!

THEN - Shamela gave me this award - THANK YOU SHAMELA -and i am supposed to tell you a fewthings about myself................hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, well a few things that you did not know about me, 7 to be exact........here goes
