I don't own a lot of Tim's stuff and am inspired more by his grunge but I tend to do pretty grunge.

This is another wooden plaque that I have decorated...I have scrunched up some of Tims tissue wrap and loosely stuck it down leaving plenty of texture, when dry I gave it a light coat of Gesso..

Once this was dry I sponged on some Chromium Oxide Green Shade PanPastels,I then lightly dabbed a sponnge that had been dipped in Versamark ink pad over the parts that are sticking up and then sponged over some Phthalo Blue Panpastel 

I then got a soft cloth and polished it all. I then put some light modeling paste through my flower stencil and when dry coloured with Magenta. The sentiment was stamped embossed with blue embossing powder and cut up

My inspiration for this Challenge is a card with a topper made to look like a page torn from a notebook.  It would also work well for the cover of a notebook.

I love using Panpastels with Tim Holtz embossing folders, they compliment each other so well.  The colours I've used are Phthalo Green Shade, Magenta Shade and Orange, the colours blend so well that you get a rainbow of colours from just three Pans!

 I had fun and got inspired with Tim Holtz, making the background with Gesso, Light Modelling Paste, Stencil from Dutch Doobadoo, Acryclic Metallic Paints, Metallic PanPastels and Crackle.

 I started off by cut a piece of cream card into the shape of a tag and then distressing it with the Orange extra dark Pan Pastel.  I then used a small stamp from the PCB Roses stamp set and randomly stamped it with distress ink. I then mixed the Orange PP with some Light Modelling Paste and used it with the Butterfly Mask . I then inked the edges of the tag with a distress ink. Finally I used the Butterfly stamp from the PCB Postcard stamp set. I drew some lines and added them measurements and the distress the piece of card as before. I used the Orange Pan Pastel to colour the butterfly. Finally I added some string and lace.
