Okay so this week our Challenge #24 is Remnant Rub Resist found on p. 51 You get a treat this week I've done a second project ( actually the 4th project ... but I'm only sharing two )!
I love remnant rubs so I got carried away experimenting...
This was way too cute not to share... I present my Remnant Rub Egg on a Tattered Floral Base
The photos do not do it justice... but it was so cute I had to share. The last three photos are close ups so you can actually see my work on the egg . The beginning photos are the finished project. I could not figure out what to do for a base so I used my tattered floral and my poinsettia dies to cut flowers and I curl and distressed the edges to form a cradle and I added a grunge board butterfly and ribbon.
It was so fun to experiment ! That cracked pistachio and picked raspberry and abandoned coral made a very pretty combination.
Okay don't forget to visit the Curiosity Crews blogs and show them some love. You know what those other CC3 ers are amazing too ... it's an amazing creative community ... check them out !
Okay ... I'm gone for real now ... see you next time !
Rea', I thought your tag was amazing but you have taken it up a notch with this little masterpiece. What a wonderful way to decorate the egg, I love that it sits in the flower and the butterfly on the top is just the icing on the cake!
ReplyDeleteForgot to say, congratulations on your $50 win on #23 too, you will have lots of fun spending that! Hugs, Anne xx
Thank you Anne ! It was fun to do... had never tried resist on the egg and then I embossed it too ( I forgot that detail) ... great experiment! See what CC3 does to you ... you get brave ! :)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to shop ... was hoping they'd have those crazy birds... out of stock .. bummer ... still gonna have fun !
Oh Rea', these eggs are so sweet! How special they would look as a centerpiece on your Easter lunch table. Mmmm..... may have to borrow this idea. You are one creative lady!! <3
ReplyDeleteThank you Cheryl ! :)
ReplyDeleteHello again Rea!! I love your little eggs! So fragile looking. Great use of the Remnant Rubs on these little beauties. I love your idea and like Cheryl, I may have to "borrow" it with Easter coming so soon. :) Thanks for sharing these with everyone at CC3C. <3 Candy

ReplyDeleteOh, you clever girl. This little egg is so sweet! I wish I could see it in person too. Fantastic idea!
ReplyDeleteThank you Annette ! So funny I completed the remnant resist part ... I was experimenting ... then I got stuck... didn't know what to do with the egg; tried to find egg holder at thrift store ... could not find one so I decided to see if it would stand up in the flower viola !
ReplyDeleteGIrl...this is amazing and SO fun!!! Now...who would have thunk? You that's who! I love love love that you incorporated the technique onto the egg!!! Fabulous! Thanks for sharing with us at CC3C!!!
