Okay so you read the guidelines ... you know NONE of us are going to give you detail instructions ! Open your book to page 59 FROSTED FILM ... yep that's our CC3 Challenge # 32 ...
OMG ... I was just about all finished and the thought occurred to me ... it looks so much like some other tag I've done .. oh no !!! WHEW... I checked ... just similar ...
For my tag I was twisted, abandoned and fossilized, and layered with burlap, doilies and wildflowers !!! LOL ... translation ... I used twisted citron, abandoned coral and fossilized amber distressing inks on my background and I used burlap, doily and wildflower layering stencils.
I used the distress marker spritzer with black soot and back stitching to add interest. Check out the crazy rick rack ribbon from Tim's natural, black /cream trimmings ... goes just fine with my whimsical frosted film flowers don't you think ?! As you can see it was all about fun !
Other Tim Holtz product used tattered florals die , mini butterfly die, spring greenery decorative strip die ; hashtags stamp set, watercolor stamp set and clear stamps phrases 2 . Embellishments included a muse token and ribbon, and flower brads and min safety pin from my stash.
I'm feeling a little looney and silly after intense work on wedding decorations/plans hope you enjoyed your visit ! Don't forget to visit the Curiosity Crews blogs and show them some love... remember they can't hear you ooos and aahs... See you next time !
What a fun tag. Beautiful background and lovely flower and butterfly. I have been thinking about this challenge a lot but haven't even started yet.
ReplyDeleteThank you Ruby ( finally finished wedding ... just came home this afternoon ... great to be able to TRY and catch up with my comments ) !
DeleteSweet tag, lady! Those frosted flowers are so delicate and pretty. I love the pin on your butterfly. The stitching around the border is actually genius, it completely frames and defines the entire piece. LOVE!!! Thanks for being a faithful CC3Cer. ;-)

DeleteRea...this is such a lovely tag! Those frosted flowers are amazing. They remind me of a fine porcelain or a fragile frosted glass flower! Beautiful background and the stitching just pulls everything together so perfectly! Thanks for sharing with us at CC3C. <3 Candy
