Well I am still running way behind as Tim's class is well and truly over now, but this is a life time class anyway, so no stress or hurry really.
Today I am sharing the first three tags for day two, tomorrow (hopefully) I will show you the next batch.
Here you can see my take on Mixed Media Layering, not too happy with this one, it all got a bit dark, one to come back to for sure.
Here is Embossing With Stencils, great fun to do and also worth exploring further... but here are a few close ups:
And here is the last one of this batch, Embossing Through Stencils.
One of my all time favourites I think, it opens up so many new possibilities with the stencils. I combined the embossing straight on the background and on Core D'nations on one tag. Now Tim demonstrates how to do this on the Vagabond and I don't have one. It did work with the Big Shot too but it was quite heavy going, just as well it's such a sturdy machine and you definitely need the sandwich Tim demonstrates, I experimented with different sandwiches, but only that one worked...
Love the softness of the embossing on the tag, like Tim says, great for stamping over the top.
Anyway, that's it for today. I know everyone has enjoyed this class so much and I certainly have too!
More gorgeous Tags....fabulous colours and textures Astrid

Astrid, now for my proper comment.
ReplyDeleteOnly you could make poison bottles so very appealing with those beautiful Autumnal colours and on each tag I can see that you have demonstrated the techniques to perfection.
A wonderful collection.

Magnificent tags Astrid. The colours are fabulous. I'm still in Class 101 although I joined 102 at the same time. I think I need a life extension to complete. Hugs Rita xx
