Felt Flowers

Tim Holtz has a create a flower challenge on his blog using the Tattered Floral die. I have owed this die for over a year, but this is the first time I have used it.
I cut the flower layers from felt using the Vagabond. It was very easy to do. The leaves I cut free hand with scissors.

All the edges of the flowers were inked with Ripe Persimmon Distress Ink and the leaves with Mowed Grass Distress Ink.


The flowers were assembled by first piercing each piece and held together with a brad.

Bunny Tag

This is my interpretation of Tim Holtz’s tag of the month.



I started by cutting a 6.5 X 3.5 tag from the Cricut Picturesque cartridge(page 76) with The Paper Company cardstock using the Gypsy and Expression. Using the ink applicator the following distress inks were applied to the tag: spiced marmalade, mustard seed, wild honey, shaded lilac, and ripe persimmon. Then using a mini mister the tag was misted with water and dried with a heat tool.

With the Tim Holtz Vagabond, I cut using the TH Sizzix Alterations Bunny, Butterfly & Bow diecut  the bunny and TH Sizzix Alterations Tapered Fringe diecut the grass.

Tim Holtz Lost & Found paper was used for the rabbit and Tim Holtz Seasonal paper was used for the grass. The edges of all the cut pieces were inked with  Gathered Twigs Distress Ink. The bow was blinged with Glam Pink Stickles.

 

The eggs are the dots from the Tim Holtz ideaology digits & punctuation grungeboard. I painted them with Adirondack Acrylic Paint Dabbers(Pink Sherbet, Butterscotch, Sail Boat Blue, Wild Plum).



Tim Holtz Ripe Persimmon Distress ink was used to stamp the “Easter” then it was heat embossed. The cute bunny sticker is form the Tim Holtz Salvage Stickers. The ribbon is something I have in my stash.
The bunny is adhered with foam squares to give it some elevation. A small piece of cotton was added to give him a fuzzy tail.
