Compendium of curiosity's challenge no 11 , Effect powders

For the Compendium of curiosities 3, challenge 11, I made a tag to go onto my husbands 60th Birthday card.  Again it's a great technique , but you will have to buy Tim's book to get the low down

As I am not allowed to give details here, in respect for all Tim's work on his book.

Above photo is the tag, and below photo is the finished card

I used a couple of other Tim Holtz techniques for this tag.

Dimensional collage fragments, this is from CC1 book.

It's the tiny clear tag at the top left, I was rather tickled to fing a number plate on one of Tim's papers that was AG , this is my husbands initials !

So I added the little 60 as well & a couple of other bits to go under the clear frame.

The base colour on the tag is paint marbling , this is in the current book

But I missed this challenge , so am using the technique now on here.

See below photo.

Another lovely Tim technique is to use the shadow press debossing folders

(They de-boss) with inks to highlight and a pen run just inside the letters

See below photo of highlighted de bossing and yet another of TH Techniques

Which is to use tiny brads and hammer them flat !

Below is a photo of the lovely framelits I used for this challenge technique , I love this

Compass , with the stamps and die cuts all in one , fabulous !
