Tim Holtz Image Transfer Tags - Flying Unicorn

Hi Everyone,

Today I  have a couple of tags to share with you . I thought I would 'attempt' an image transfer with the new Tim Holtz Found Relatives. Recently I had seen the blog of the talented Shelly Hickox. Shelly had a step by step tutorial on how to do an image transfer with the found relatives. Looked amazing, so I thought I would give it a shot myself. 

Now it kind of worked, it is a little rough looking and the tags are a little shredded. But I am kind of ok with that, I think it adds to the whole look. What do you think?. Lesson learnt though rub too hard and you will start shredding your tag along with your image. Rather than use baby wipes to remove the image glue I used 100% eucalyptus oil, this worked really well (but stay within the confines of the image, unlike I did).




Thanks for looking, I wish you all a happy and creative day.

Tim Holtz Reverse Canvas - Flying Unicorn

Hi Everyone,

I am here today to share with you all a little more Tim Holtz inspired creativeness. This is the first reverse canvas I have ever made, why I have left it so long I really have no idea, such a great way to showcase items. Below you will see I have used an absolute stack of Tim Holtz product, however I have also added a few other bits and pieces from my own stash. As you can see this is super busy but it works, it is like looking into a little box of vintage treasure.

Tim Holtz Folio - Flying Unicorn

Hi Everyone, 

I am here today to share with you a decorated Tim Holtz Collection Folio. Let me tell you, when it arrived in my creative team box for Flying Unicorn, boy oh boy I was excited. I had been looking for a creative way to showcase some of my photos from my trip to London last year and this folio was perfect. The creative mojo was in full action and creating this project was such a pleasure, really made me happy. 


Have you seen the new Tim Holtz Emphemera packets? wow they are jam packed with gorgeous emphemera. They just keep going and going, I have created two projects with them now and still have some left (yay!). You will see them used throughout my folio below.

I have photographed my folio front, back and then all through the inside in order. My printer went bonkers went I printed my photos, I ended up with streaks. Rather than reprint I decided to use them, it kind of looked cool and fitted in. Enjoy your visual journey through my folio.
