Butterfly tag

Good morning friends!

I suppose I have been a bad blogger of late! 

I've been very busy in the other side of my life,

Or I have been making presents that couldn't be shared here until they were given!

However today I am sharing my tag for September....

Wow hard to believe it's September, and halfway through at that!

There was a major overhaul of the craft room that sent me into a bit of a spin this morning when I went looking for my alcohol inks!

Whew I found them! 

So this months tag is butterfly goodness. 

The background is alcohol inks, then stamped butter flies,

Then clear embossing through a stencil, then stamping and fussy cutting the butterflies from vellum (another hide and seek to find that in the craft room as well!)

But here is the end result, and I'm adoring it! 

Just such lovely colors and textures!

I'll of course be entering this into the 12 tags of 2015 that Tim holtz has on his blog. 

If you're getting your craft on, come join along here.

I'll be teaching this class as part of my 12 tags series tonight, and can't wait for the girls to get inky!

And it's the super easy "anything goes"

Earlier in the week I shared this beauty with you all

It's from Tim Holtz and it's his September tag

I think personally that he's been hanging out at my blog and that's why he's used

the aluminum on his tag this month!

Ha ha ha I'm sure that's not the case...  but wouldn't that be fun??

This definitely is not a challenge I would be missing

Here's my tag

I used Angie Delarie's typewriter and also my typewrite (yep, that pretty blu typewriter WORKS!!)

I added the key I'd found at an antique shop a few months back, the sticker in the middle

(sorry for the bad pic)

It's a bird wearing a steam punk hat! ha I love it (from Jolee)

The film strip is from Tim's Ideology line the "D" charm I made all by my lonesome

with a quick stamp, some silver embossing, and covered it up with a good dose of glossy accents!

I might be done with the aluminum tape for a week or two!  I've got some great projects planned for the whole month of October!  Yeah for Halloween!
