For Grungy Monday today we are working on techniques from Tim's Christmas tags again - this time it's 2009 - click the link for the details straight from the Master. And check out Linda and her Guest Designers for some fab samples at Studio L3
I had to rummage for my vellum, as I wasn't sure which box of papers I'd put it back in the last time I followed this technique... oh, what a mess!
Anyhow, I made a tag using a Hero Arts stamp "woman writing" rather than copying Tim's music theme.
I stamped Wendy's large script background on the vellum, inked it and heated it according to Tim's instructions and scrunched it up a bit, causing cracks and creases. Folded it roughly and tied it up with a piece of velvet ribbon - well, it is a love letter!!
Thanks to Tim for the inspiration, and Linda for running these fab challenges. Link up at the Tim Yahoo group too
I am sure I have done something very similar to this before, but I promise it's new - and I didn't have the pen nib idea-ology before!! And, as I have used a tag, and Simon Says' theme this week is 'a tag' I am entering it for that challenge too. There is a $50 prize for a random winneer, courtesy of Simon Says Stamp.

Hello Helen,
I recognize Tim's techniques from his tag, but I really like how you interpreted this and made it completely your own.
The letter is perfect : indeed a love letter, but I like how you ripped and folded it... it adds to the story :)
greetings from Belgium

Your love letter is great. That stamp is perfect for this technique.
