I created this project for the Tim Holtz Blog Challenge - Tattered Florals.
The Tattered Florals were cut from Crinoline and sponged with Tea Dye Distress Ink. Originally, I planed to moisten the crinoline and crinkle my flowers, but I was so pleased with how they opened up after I balled them up dry, that I decided to leave them alone.
I had some strips of kraft paper left over after cutting my card size, and to remain true to my pledge to use up my "leftovers", I decided I would use one piece for a belly band. I used my scor-bug to pierce it and punched the holes through with my Tonic Pick. I used Sew Easy floss for the stitching. The Clock face beneath the flower was cut from my 6x6 pad. After all the embellishments were on, I had this negative space in the upper left hand corner . I tried a lot of things but was not happy. Finally, I decided that what this composition needed was a piece that was complimentary to the belly band. So I stitched a shorter piece, attached a Bo Bunny Time Piece Brad and secured it to the card with Scor Tape and Foam Squares.
