Nothing like waiting til the last minute :-)

Steampunk chest of drawers

I made this chest using the Sizzix Candy drawer die by stacking 4 of the drawers together and then gluing chipboard around the sides. The drawers were decorated using the painted industrial technique with Tim Holtz diamond plate and Subway embossing folders and finished off with Tim Holtz Faucet knobs.The handle on top is from the Tim Holtz hardware findings die.

Compendium of Curiosities Challenge 5

This challenge involved using distress inks as watercolors. I used the 12 Tags of 2014 June technique for the background using Tim Holtz layering stencils. I also used the mini blueprints stamp set which is where the water coloring came in, Tim Holtz Wall clock die, Tim Holtz arrow sticker, TH embellishments, inks, stains, and ribbon. A shout out to Inspiration Emporium for sponsoring this week's challenge!

I had a lot of fun with this technique, using the layering stencils and inks in kind of a reverse stenciling way was something I would have never thought to do. So here is my entry for this month's tag.

Compendium of Curiosities Challenge 4- Father's day card

Here is a card I made for my dad using the following supplies: My Mind's eye paper, Tim holtz Vintage market die, Tim Holtz Prize ribbons die, Tim Holtz Numbered stencil, embossing paste, black acrylic paint, and black glitter. I used the embossing paste, stencil, paint and glitter for the number "1" on the prize ribbon. I am entering this card into the Compendium of  Curiosities challenge 4 which involves using stencils with embossing paste. A big shout out goes to www.thefunkiejunkie.com for sponsoring this portion of the challenge.

Compendium of Curiosities Challenge 3

Here is my entry for the compendium of curiosities challenge 3 involving faux tea roses sponsored by Inspiration Emporium http://www.inspirationemporium.com/  . I used the Sizzix candy drawer die along with the following Tim Holtz dies: tattered pinecone, mini fleur de lis, vintage lace  and Frameworks trellis dies. Sorry for the not so great pic, I didn't get a chance to take it during the daylight to get a better pic of it.
