I’m here today to share my versions of the October tag made
by Tim Holtz. I made two tags. The first one was done using his tutorials and
making a monster tag for Halloween. The other is my own spin using the same
materials and background but different focal points so that I can display them
all year. Here is where you can find Tim’s tutorial Here.
Here are my Tags:

I discovered that I could ink the foil tape but it took a few layers to get it as dark as I
wanted it. To grunge the crest I put on a layer of ink and then wiped it off
gently while it was wet. That took off the layers in spots to let the base color
show through. I have become a fan of foil tape and hope to use it again soon. I
am eager to see what it looks like as snowflakes covered with glitter. I also wore a rubber glove so that I would not get ink all over my fingers. I used just the felt pad without the applicator tool in order to get aroung all of the raised embossing.
Great tags. Definitely "Tim" inspired. Thanks for entering our challenge this month at Great Impressions Stamps. Julie, DT member
