Did you know what an auspicious day it is today - Monday 28th March - the first day of the new Grungy Monday challenges -
Linda has dreamt up a new series of challenges for us to keep our Tim fixes going!
Today, she has asked us to recreate a tag based on Tim's
2008 Day 10 of Christmas and this is what I've come up with - but not on a Christmas theme - I can't do Christmas 9 months early!!
The details are on Tim's tag (click the link above) so I won't tell you how I did this, but I used a perfect pearl/distress reinker combi of spiced marmalade and perfect copper powder, the bird is coloured with mint perfect pearl, and the masked tag is overinked with bundled sage.
Sorry I can't get a decent close up - I really do need to buy a better digital camera (it's coming!!)
I had lots of fun making this although it took me a couple of hours to come up with a decent theme.
Thanks Linda, this is going to be a lot (more) fun!!

Helen, I think I would have exploded if someone had asked me to make a Christmas-themed tag in March! I'm still recovering from the LAST holiday season! ;-)
You certainly did a wonderful job of reinterpreting Tim's holiday piece into a gorgeous tag that's springtime perfection~ I love the colors and the sweet bird with her melody.
I'm so happy you joined the Grungy Monday challenge, and I'm looking forward to many more weeks of admiring your art!
