Tim Holtz 12 Tags July 2014

Just getting this in with a day to spare! Below is my creation for Tim's 12 tags of 2014 July.  You can get step by step instructions from Tim himself on his blog here. 

I really love the technique of making the sand-so realistic! I do admit this one was a bit challenging for me because I am very impatient waiting for crackle paint to dry and I tend to want to heat it with the heat tool and the effects are just not as good.  Thus I chose the quotation "embrace imperfection" for this tag!

Here is a close up of the sand dollar, starfish and sand:

What a fun tag-reminds me of the beach- great fro summer!
