Country View Crafts Challenge - Inspired By Tim Holtz

A few weeks ago I received a very exciting email from Susan at Country View Crafts, inviting me to join the CVC Design Team - it obviously took me a whole 30 seconds to respond!  I can't even tell you how excited I was!

The current Country View Crafts challenge and my very 1st official challenge is "Inspired By Tim Holtz".  As soon as I saw the theme I was really pleased!  Tim has inspired me since I started to craft in 2007.

So - here is my first creation....


I started by creating an alcohol ink background using sailboat blue and juniper alcohol inks- I LOVE these colours.  I hadn't used alcohol inks for a little while so it was lovely to use them again.  I had forgotten just how fun they are to use!  I cut a slim slice from the background to use for the sentiment panel.

I then used the Mixed Media 2 die to cut the swirls in opposite corners of a white card panel.


I then attached this to the alcohol ink background and adhered it to a card front. 

I stamped a sentiment from Tim's  Simple Sayings stamp set and adhered this to the centre of the card.

To finish I added a seam binding bow and a few adhesive pearls.

I was really happy with the end result!

Do pop over to the Country View Crafts Blog and see the other amazing projects created by the Team, and I hope you choose to join in the challenge.

Thanks for looking.....
