I decided to take part in a challenge at Frilly and Funkie, called A Neutral Point of View. As much as I love colour, I do love a neutral palette!
With the Tim Holtz Roses (THS075) Stencil, I applied Ranger's Texture Paste to my frame. I then coloured with the Distress Oxide Inks.
My flowers were die-cut with a sheer fabric (it's like a stiff gauze type) and one of the large flowers from Sizzix's Tim Holtz Small Tattered Floral Thinlits (661806) set. I also die-cut two branches with linen from Tim Holtz Textile Surfaces (TH93294) adhered to cardstock. Once I had my flowers die-cut, I coloured them with the same three Distress Oxide Colours, sprayed them with water, and then dried them with my heat tool. The heat caused my fabric to curl, which I really liked.
I also die-cut a doily (661497) with metallic cardstock, then distressed with Alcohol Ink and a bit of paint. This was then cut in half, a painted Compass Coin (TH93061) with a Ring Fastener (TH93060) was attached in the middle, along with a Story Stick(TH93680) tied to the ring with Tim Holtz Thread. I also die-cut leaves from Tim Holtz Funky Flowers #3(662702).
A butterfly from Idea-ology Botanical Ephemera (TH93554), a Paper Doll (TH93555) and Idea-ology Clippings stickers (TH93583) were also added.
Here's another look at my frame! If you love challenges, check out the Frilly and Funkie Challenge Blog!
