Description:

Tim's words about this tag: "Getting the most out of products has always been one of my main goals as a designer. i try to inspire different ways to think about the products and their many uses. first we’ll explore distress markers and a few creative ways to use them including layered watercoloring, background spritzing, and even tinting ribbon. next we’ll learn about the new flower garden stamp set which are sketch illustrated flowers allowing you to “design your own garden” simply by playing with the juxtaposition of the images. the thin outlined flower heads and stems are separate and also provide a simple way to color especially if you’re like me and don’t mind coloring outside the lines. lastly i’ll show you a few tricks to use some new sizzix word dies to layer a sentiment on the tag using both the positive and negative space cut from the dies. the more you play with products in various ways, the more likely you are to use them for more than you imagined…" (Tim Holtz, 1 April 2015 Online. 12 Tags of 2015--april](http://timholtz.com/12-tags-of-2015-april/.)

As usual, you will make your version of Tim's tag for ONE partner. Be certain to make the tag enough like his as possible or use it as a jump start for your own creativity for the April tag. You tag MUST have enough similarity to Tim's so that your partner can easily tell it is a version of the official April tag. You will find the instructions for the April 2015 tag here: CLICK HERE FOR 12 Tags of 2015--april.

1) So, 1 tag, sent to 1 partner. 2) SIGN UP by April 18. 3) MAIL by April 30. 4) INCLUDE your Swap-Bot name, the date, and name of swap on back of the tag. 5) BE SURE to package your tag securely for its tough journey through the post services. Use packaging tape, etc. to do this. . Do your BEST work with the supplies you have to come close to his tag. DO NOT feel you MUST BUY supplies exactly as he lists them. I do not want that to keep people from joining these monthly tag swaps. Substitute, jury-rig , and use creativity to make good use of what supplies you DO have to come close by giving it your best efforts. Tim Holtz does not not use stickers, so we will not use stickers on our tags. He does use some rub-ons and a limited amount of, and very few, alpha stickers and things such as tags, tickets, etc. In all other ways, stickers are not allowed for these tags.

PLEASE DO PM me with any questions about this swap or ideas for other swaps that are not tags.
