you can do this too.

If you leave a comment on my blog

you can win my card and some blog candy

to make your own flower embellishments.

(Blog Candy)

What do you need to make this flower embellishment?

* a tooth pick

* a flower on wire

* a flat flower

* a hole punch or a prick needle

Decide where you want the flower placed

and hold it down and punch or prick

2 holes next to oneanother in the middle of

the flower.

Pull the wire flower through one hole.

And now you push the wire through

the second hole to the front side.

Take the tooth pick and wirl the wire of

the flower around it. Take the tooth pick out.

Here is the finished flower embellishment.

I also added the butterfly to show you,

that you can do the same tooth pick trick

with wire for the butterfly tentacles.

Now you muct be ready to go to the next blog to

get more inspiration and another freebie.

Please go to Jennifer's Blog

and see what she has in store for you. 

 

Here you see the flowers again on my card.

The picture is colored with pencils and 

sponged around with vintage photo

and stamped on with the same color

and a Club Scrap leaves stamp.

The background is also white paper sponged with

vintige photo distress and stamped with the same 

Club Scrap leave stamp, but also embossed with a leave

embossing folder to give the paper more texture.

Challenges

At this moment, there are so many challenges

going on, that I really like that I made this card and tag for.

First I took up the new challange at

the Tim Holtz blog:

You can read all about it HERE.

I also made this for the challenge at

Studio L3: Grungy Monday 36

were one is asked to make 

a Valentine themed piece using

Tim Hotlz products and or technique

to be able to win a prize

at www.SimonSaysStamp.com

So here we go: this tag was totally inspired

by the tag on Tim's Blog, but because I had

chocolate in mind for my man on Valentine

I made a tag and card in chocolate colors.

The heart is covered with a lot of glossy accent

to look like a real chocolate heart.

I made this tag of kraft-core paper

and embosed it and sanded it to reaveal the letters.

The card to go with the chocolates is also

inspired by Tim's tag. The bacground is done like shown on Tim's blog, but

instead of cupid I added some love birds here.

The cage and the birds are done the same as

cupid, only I chose frayed burlap distress ink

and vintage photo stickles on top.

Because I did not have the honeycomb paper

I cut out 4 hearts and glued them in a 3d way together to fit on the

heart with the tissuepaper.

Glossy accent and silver glitter is added to the heart.

The sentiment and the tags are by Create with TLC.

Hope you all had a fantastic V-day!

Have a creative day!

Valentine decoration

How about some romantic  table decorations

for Valentine?

You need some empty glass jars.

Any size is ok

and as many electric lights as jars.

You can use white or colored paper.

Measure the hight of the jar and cut your paper.

I used my new Tim Holtz Valentine stamp

on the paper. I cut out a heart with the new Tim Holtz

sizzix die and distressed the top of the paper.

Added some ink with a blender tool on top and

bottom and around the heart.

Now I stamped for mini cloisonné hearts by

Michael Strong with versamark watermark

and embossed them with oriental express 

embossing powder and cut out the hearts.

For one embellishemnt you need 4 hearts.

Fold the hearts double. Add a piece of double sided

tape on one half of the heart. Take a piece of ribbon

or thread and fold double, so you have a loop

on top of the heart to hang it from. Stick all the

hearts together.

Use double sided tape to adhere your stamped

 paper to the jar.

Take your ribbon or thread and fasten it around the jar.

First make one not, add your heart embellishment,

make another knot and a bow if you like that.

{ut the electric light onside and you are ready!

Have a creative day!

Love ATC for GM 35

These ATC are my contrubution for

Grungy Monday 35:
A Hotz-ian ATC

meaning: use at least one Tim Holtz product

or technique that you can find on T!im's

website: http://www.timholtz.com/

I used the new cupid die and painted them with

rock candy distress crackle paint.

When it was dry I brushed some victorian velvet

distress inkt on top. The hearts are also done

with the same crackle paint..

For the background I used Kraft core paper

and a Tim Holtz atc sunray embossing folder.

I love using the tickets and on one i stamped part 

of a text from "Good Thoughts"cling stamps.

Buttons with wax thread and glitter

fibre finish of these atc's.

Have a creative day!

Faux Postage for Valentine

 Valentine cards are so wonderful to make

and while I am into all these postage cards for Club Scrap,

I also made some for my Michael Strong group.

 

I needed a fitting sentiment and I found one at 

Create with TLC. When you married to the most 

wonderful man, he is not only my Valentine, 

but my heart keeps fluttering even when I think of him!

So this is my card for him.

This is what I used:

Club Scrap paper

Bakers twine from my stash

Michael Strong mini cloisonné heart

Create with TLC sentiment Heart Flutter

Club Scrap wings and love sentiment.

 For the Faux Postage technique there is a turorial for you

just a few posts before this one.

You find it here:

BTW don't forget the BLOG HOP

on the 18th of Febuary.

If you like fairy tales, do stop by!

Have a creative day!

Create with TLC blog,

that I just had to make this card.

I googled the background on internet

as well as the Monopoly money.

The sentiment is also by Create with TLC

little clear stamps by Stampendous.
