52 Week Mini Art Card/Tag Challenge
A while back I saw a Tim Holtz tutorial where he mentioned that due to the coating/finish, you could use Yupo Paper to create a stencil using your existing dies, so I thought I would give it a try.
I started my tag with a background of Tim Holtz Oxide Inks. I used a Sizzix Thinlits die (Tim Holtz Alterations 661185) to cut the stencil in the Yupo paper and then secured it over the top of the tag. I used a Distress Ink in "Faded Jeans" shade and the sponge applicator to apply the colour through the stencil, I inked the edges in the same shade too. I used a Stamper's Anonymous stamp for the sentiment and stars.
The prompt for Week 5 is "Precious".
There are all sorts of things that we consider "Precious". For me my Grandson Jacob is precious. Jacob will be one years old this week and he is a Down Syndrome baby.
This first year has not been an easy one for Jacob, his parents, sister and extended family. For the first five months of his life he was mainly in hospital, eventually having a major heart operation. For this reason and a million others, Jacob is my "Precious".
The tag I have made for Week 5 consists of two layers of a die cut flower (using a Tim Holtz, Alterations Sizzix die). On each petal I have written words relating to Jacob.
Don't forget, I would love to know if you are following this challenge and any of your creations.
