Yay the end of the week and the beginning of the weekend.
Today it is my turn to host the challenge at The Stamp Man and I am asking that you choose any of Tim's Tags of Christmas - (so that gives you 48 to decide from) - and use his techniques to create your own Christmas project, that could be a card, tag or altered item. Just tell us which tag you have chosen and the techniques you have used from it. This really gives you the opportunity to be as creative as you want, but with a TH Christmas theme.
I chose Tim's very first tag, which you can find here. If you want to go directly to Tim's home page to find the others you could choose from, then click HERE. Scroll down and you will find them listed under Categories.
The main technique I used was a crackle paint background.
When this was dry I stamped over it and added torn music paper, ribbons and embellishments.
Tag 1 - The Snowman
Tag 2 - Christmas Snow 1
