12 Tags of 2016: March

Tim Holtz is continuing the "remix" theme by combining techniques from two prior tags to inspire a new one. While I never have all of the products used in any given month, this time around I treated myself to the mixed media dies and Distress crayons used on the March tag. 

I don't have the butterfly die, so used floral dies in its stead to make the cutouts. Thinlet dies don't cut through thick material like corrugated cardboard, so I used woodgrain embossed Core'dinations cardstock instead. I used the back side of the cardstock so I'd have a solid color. I used a TH stencil to make the speckles with distress ink and added some Tarnished Brass distress spray stain. 

I'm pleased with how it came out. :)
