Hip To Be Square Inchies

This is a swap at ATC's for ALL. Make one dozen inchies and somewhere include a square.  I started with patterned paper that had a watercolor look - geometric shapes overlapping on a white background. Next I used ultra fine point Sharpie markers to add my designs and included many squares.

Wizard of Oz 6x6 Chunky Book Pages

This is a swap from the All Things Tim Yahoo group. We were required to use some Tim Holtz and Ranger products in the piece, to do the front and back of the pages and to make 11 copies of our assigned character. People got really excited about this swap and we ended up with 3 groups. I did a second page to fill in for group 3 and ended up with the tinman for both groups.
Tinman group 1 front view.  I used Tim Holtz patterned paper, Adirondack acrylic paint dabbers, distress inks, I chose to use a tag because Tim does lots of tag art, Tim's gear masks, gear brads, some fishing tackle and a heart charm.

Tinman group 1 back view. I used Tim's texture fade, Adirondack acrylic paint dabbers, distress inks, Tim Holtz patterned paper, Tim's vinatge stickers, and a vintage fruit crate label for Poppy apples.

Tinman group 3 front view. I used Tim's texture fade, Adirondack acrylic paint dabbers, distress inks, Tim Holtz patterned paper, glossy accents, beads, metallic gel pen, Tim's tissue tape, gear brads, and Sharpie marker for the hand lettering. 
Tinman group 3 back view. I used Timn's gear masks, Adirondack acrylic paint dabbers, distress inks, Tim Holtz patterned paper, and Tim's fragments with diamond glaze.
