After assembling all of the components it comes together quickly. I cut the blue floral paper, 4"x6", first. I sewed the strip of lace across the bottom with the 3 hearts and then sewed the denim butterfly above that. I glued the flowers in the centers of the hearts with Glossy Accents. The butterfly's body is made of rolled paper. I used the words by Authentique to say "play, sing, dance" and glued 3 tiny buttons on the right side. The baker's twine is grey and white and I tied it into 3 bows, two for the butterfly's body and one over the words. The stitching around the floral paper is done with a grey pen. The entire panel is glued to a pink piece of cardstock and all of that is glued to a 5"x7" white blank card.

Our Creative Corner Challenge
Our Creative Corner has a fun challenge this week. If you like denim it might be something you'd like to try.
The "recipe" requires 3 buttons or brads, 3 ribbons or twine accents, and some real or fake denim. I have an old pair of jeans that I've been making little purses out of for some tiny friends of mine. My husband can't believe little girls need purses. He was amazed that even a 4 year old can insist on carrying a bag full of junk she doesn't really need. (lol) The jeans came in handy again for this project. I used my Sizzix die for the butterfly and also for the primitive hearts. They cut right through those jeans like buttah, as we say here. I made the roses with Tim's Tattered Pinecone die.

Tim Holtz::12 tags of 2012~August
I love to try my hand at the challenge each month to CASE the tag that Tim Holtz creates. I never feel as good about the finished product as I think I'm going to. Kinda like a diet--you always feel successful for about the first 4 hours. His tag this month is beautiful and very vintage. He based it on a walk down Main Street at Disneyland. I was raised 3 miles south of Disneyland, we moved there the year it was built. I, too, am still very enamored with the place. Every time I visit my mother in California we all have to go out on the front lawn to watch the fireworks at Disney. My mother still acts like its the first time they have ever done it. Amazing. Even after all the years I always run out there and stay until the Grand Finale at the end. So here's to the Magic Kingdom and lots of happy memories.
| Of course I didn't have the exact products on hand that Tim used so I had to improvise. This is my product list: #8 manilla tag Alterations die Ornate for the bottom edge Alterations Tattered Pinecone for the roses and the brown twigs Sizzix die for the green leaves Dry embossing folder by Cuttlebug Stamps by Recollections Martha Stewart acrylic paint Pea Shoot Glimmer Mist Ranger's Black Archival Ink Metal ephemera by Idea-ology Ranger Distress inks: Tattered Rose & Vintage Photo Check out Tim's blog if you want to play along, see what you come up with! Have a terrific weekend. |
