Tim Holtz Butterfly tag

I made this tag using a technique I saw on one of Tim's recent Youtube videos - adding embossing powder to texture paste. It doesn't look that exciting on a screen, but I decided to try it anyway using a layering stencil and gold powder and it's so beautiful in person! The raised texture and metallic gold really make a statement.

I'm really happy to have some of Tim's Small Talk quotes in stamp form so I could gold emboss one of those as well. To finish the tag, I added butterflies from Botanical Layers using foam tape.

I tried to capture the beautiful shine and texture with this angled shot:
