CC3 Challenge #21

Hi everybody! Okay so I've got about 6 hours to make a deadline ... and no project ! So why am I posting you ask ? I'm hoping some inspiration will come and I will drop a project into this post.

It's been an emotional roller coaster  since the passing of my cousin Roberta,  January 27, 2015. She was like my other daughter and I was her stand in mom for many years after the passing of her mom some years ago. Roberta had been in a semi coma for the past 10 1/2 years . I had hoped for a miracle and that things would turn around. I had many unanswered questions; but I KNOW God knew best; and He doesn't make mistakes. I had the honor of officiating her Homegoing Service last Friday ... Yes ... for those who didn't know I am a licensed/ ordained Minister.

Okay ... I got that out...
Here we are at CC3 # 21 ... did you check out the Curiositiy Crews awesome projects on Linda's site ? Our hostess Linda Ledbetter  http://lindaledbetter.com/2015/01/compendium-of-curiosities-challenge-21-2.html has some super talented friends. And speaking of the Curiosity Crew did you see what they did at CHA 2015 ?? They showered Tim and Mario with Starbuck Gift Cards enveloped in special envelopes that each one of them decorated ... How cool is that ?!

CC3 Challenge #21  is Rock Candy Distress Glitter , found on p.55 in Compendium of Curiosities Volume III ... did I mention you need to have this book? Sorry... that's what these fabulous challenges are all about. We are going through Tim's book and exploring all the fabulous techniques... you still have time to join us !
Okay I gotta go back to work if I'm going to get my project dropped in here... I HATE to be left out ... see you soon  (Very soon ) ! Whew ... when  you get "stuck" play with NEW toys...

 

 

I knew that ... so here it is ...  I used Tim Holtz's Flower Garden , Handwritten Thoughts Stamp sets and Wildflower Stencil .

The photos do not do it justice ...  for my background I used milled lavender, festive berries, dusty concord and spun sugar distress inks. and I spritzed it with brushed pewter distress stain . Such a gorgeous palette !
Well ... I'd love to tell you how I did it BUT you'll have to look it up in your book... better yet go try it ... it is so very cool ! See you next time  ...
