Hi,
Managed to get a lot of the Christmas preses wrapped today .......phew and at long last managed to complete Cof C 24, Rock Candy Stickles (page 47) hosted by the lovely Linda of Studio L3. With a miniscule amount of Rock Candy left in my bottle I had just enough for this tag. Not exactly how Tim Holtz has demonstrated in the book as I wanted to try it out on fabric to see what happened. Unfortunately the picture does not pick up the lovely gentle sparkle, but it really glistens beautifully so will definitely use it on fabric again.
Products used... White Paint Dabber, Inka Gold and the stamp is by Art Journey......ooh I love that stamp.
I hope it will be OK for the challenge, will just have to wait and see. After making the 12 Days of Christmas tags I have set myself a challenge to make a tag for each month of the year and then mount them. This is my one and only resolution for 2011; have you made any yet? Will catch up with you all later this evening. Thank you again for popping by and your great support. Take care, Annette x

I can see the glisten. You are so clever to try it on fabric and what a wonderful image. Perfect! Hey ,Kathy Eddy and I are going to do a Tim tag a week starting Jan. We are going to start with Tim's Christmas tags 2007. You might want to join in.
You can see the lovely sparkle which works so beautifully with the lovely image ... haven't set myself a New Year's resolution yet apart from maybe doing more crafting (lol)
Very pretty. I like the use of fabric and cardboard.

Gorgeous! What a lovely hanging!
Just gorgeous! I love that stamp, didn't you use it on one of your 2 tags? This is the first challenge I am missing, just had too much going on to do it. Hope to do the next one.
Oooo this is stunning Nettie, I can see the sparkle, you are so creative and dare I say it "clever" lol
hugs Mandy xx
Oh, Netty, this is absolutely, take-your-breath-away gorgeous! It's more than okay for the challenge-- it's perfect! The stamp is amazing, and the way you've used it with the fabric and the soft sparkle of the Rock Candy makes it all the more beautiful. I love the corrugated background, too.
I love your resolution, and though I haven't made any myself, I'm looking forward to following your tag journey for 2011. You're an incredible artist, and it's always a delight to see what you've created.
Have a wonderful Christmas, sweet friend!
Fantastic Tag. Hope you have a wonderful Christmas. Hugs, Kim
Wow Netty, I think you definitely rocked this challenge. You've just inspired me to try the rock candy stickles on fabric too! I can imagine the sparkle!

Hi Annette. What a great idea to use the candy stickles on fabrice. What a beautiful composition.
I wanted to take a minute to tell you how much I appreciate your time to visit so many blogs, mine included, to leave comments.
Your 2011 resolution to make one take a month on your own is a terrific idea. It will be fun to see the final display come Dec 2011.
HAVE A WONDERFUL, SAFE CHRISTMAS.
