Experimental fun

I've recently joined a yahoo group called All Things Tim (as in the designer Tim Holtz). It is a fun group of talented people and the creativity is really flying over there! One of the members recently shared a video on a different way to use the Tim Holtz ticket strip die. It has sparked a great deal of excitement in the group and people are having a grand time with the technique. It got my ideas going too so I was experimenting as well. This is what I've come up with so far:



Instead of isolating the design on just one ticket section (like the angel at the bottom) I wanted to play with the idea of having a design that was continuous across the whole strip. Postage stamp designs are often like this, where each stamp is a stand alone design but all together the block of stamps forms a larger picture. So in theory these could be torn apart to use on projects, but I think I would keep them intact to use on a card or scrapbook page. I hope you like them. I had fun and I have a lot more ideas. I just need some more free time (hahahahahaha).

  6. Nice tickets. I like your idea of making a scene that runs across the length of the tickets. I'm looking forward to joining this swap - my first with ATT.
