Spring Fling

Hey, Crafty Peeps,

This week at Crafter's Cafe Challenge Blog, we are introducing a new sponsor, Fred She Said Stamps. Our theme is an ATC or a Fat Page.  I don't scrap, but my understanding is that a Fat Page has to be 4x4 and you pile a lot of stuff on it.   Well I made a Fat Card.  It is 4 x 4 and I put on a lot of embellishments and added tags outside and inside.

  This adorable image, Just Emma, is by Fred She Said.  You can also  purchase Emma and Rosie.

I promised my self, no more green, but like most promises, pledges and resolutions, that only lasted until I forgot! :D)   I am, however, remaining faithful to my pledge to use my stash and to try and all the paper in one stack.  I am working on the Couture 6x6 pad by S.E.I.  I used it in this project and for my project on Monday for the Outlawz Greetings Challenge.








I wanted to add a lot of tags to this card, and there are actually four tags in all (Only two are pictured here)  I created two 3" item tags and two round scalloped tags.  One round tag lives on the front of the card behind the image and the other round tag lives inside the card in the pocket with the two 3" tags.

The image on the back of the tag is a partner to the sentiment.  The second tag has a different sentiment and image.Supplies Used: Image: "Just Emma" by Fred She Said. Cardstock:  Colorplan Pistachio, Neenah Natural White, Neenah Smooth White. Design Paper:  S.E.I.

Tim Holtz - Tattered Florals Challenge= It's About Time

 Hi, Crafty Peeps,

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.

The interior was photographed on it's side, intentionally.
