Its officially Friday and while that is usually joyful enough by itself, we decided to kick things up a notch by sharing some of our projects with you, as well as announce the winners from last weeks distress contest.
As you may know, every month Tim Holtz posts a new tag featuring a fun and exciting technique. Last month Tim showed everyone how to achieve a cool industrial faux riveted metal look and we came up with a plethora of our own projects that featured that great technique. This month Tim created a Halloween themed tag that featured some cool techniques inspired by a recent workshop he taught.
After seeing what he created, we just had to get to work! Check out what we came up with!
