12 Tags of 2014 - May (It always starts with an idea)

Hello again,
I had so much fun with this month's tag.  I had an idea. Science, Medicine and Research. This tag actually coincided with National Nurses week as well. 

It started with the Laboratory paper stash, and a large #12 manilla tag and it just grew from there. Tim's tutorial this month was to encourage us to dip into our coveted stash of trinkets.  I had a cadeceus laying on my desk that I had cut out on my Silhouette. I did the faux tarnished silver technique on it.

Below you can see the tarnished silver caduceus better. The bottle is clearly for art plastic

And on to the front of the project... The Compendium of Curiosities 3challenge this time is distress glitter. Glitter, like sand, gets everywhere. I don't use it very often (with good clutzy reason). The great thing about the distress glitter is it doesn't "fly" around everywhere and is easy to clean up a whole entire jar that dumped out. Not that I would know anything about that...umm yeah, anyway.

I took the rock candy clear glitter and tinted it with Juniper alcohol ink, then I tinted the left overs with pitch black. That's such a fun technique. Tim Holtz had a tutorial on it last year. Instant any color glitter you want. Sweet.

I really didn't mean to post so many pictures, but I really like how this project turned out. I am linking it to the following challenges...
