life is good

Hi there! Today I pulled out an art journal and had lots of fun playing around with a variety of Tim Holtz products including Distress Inks, Stains and Paint to name a few. I joined along with the current Compendium of Curiosities 3: Challenge 19: where the theme is to create a project featuring Frayed Fabric.

I created two wintery themed pages:

To create the backgrounds on both pages, I collaged Tim Holtz tissue paper to cover the surface, trimmed the edges with Tim Holtz tissue paper tape, adhered die cut Grungepaper Chevrons. Once dry, I randomly applied a variety of Tim Holtz Distress products shown below: 

The first page features a sweet image from Found Relatives ~ Occasions which I layered and stitched to a piece of frayed Tim Holtz fabric:

Page 2 features a Tim Holtz frayed fabric die cut tag:

embellished with a couple of Tim Holtz Grungeboard Stacked Snowflakes and silver embossed stamped Tim Holtz snowflakes:

For added interest, I used Tim Holtz Bubble Layering stencil to add additional texture and design along with splatters of paint:

Here are some of the Tim Holtz products used:

For color inspiration, I joined along with the current Pals Paper Arts challenge:

I'm also joining along with Brenda's A Visual Journey 2015 weekly inspiration as well as A Vintage Journey where the challenge is to create a project inspired by a poem shared on their site ~ I was inspired by the word snow.

Thanks so much for stopping by ~ I hope you have a great Sunday!
Be Sweet ;)








P.S. ~ I'll be back tomorrow, January 5th  Midnight Eastern with an all new Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge ~ hope to see you then!
