Chuffed to bits to be guest designer for Anything Goes challenge blog!!

Well hey there bloggers,
I was chuffed to bits to to be asked by Tamara to be guest designer for Anything Goes Challenge blog @ http://anythingchallenge.blogspot.com/. I was thrilled to bits to have anything goes for the theme and decided to showcase some of the wonderful products of Tim Holtz, many of which can be found at the craft den @ http://www.craftden.co.uk/index.php
Here is my offering, a card this time..

The theme was anything goes and I have been doing a few pieces with a vintage feel and decided to continue with soft colours and a vintage feel.I can't wait to pop on over and see what you all make, hope you have lots of inky fun , I did!!

Details and supplies below.
I started by creating the background using an embossed resist technique which is a fav of mine at the mo...stamping the butterfly in perfect medium, clear embossing and applying distress inks over the top. (pumice stone and tumbled glass).This was then overstamped with a Tim text in weathered wood and a butterfly in tumbled glass

The other half of the background was created using distress inks and then overstamping with the crown stamp, using pumice stone.
The embellies were made using a new movers and shapers Tim die,mini butterflies, the butterflies were then coloured with distress inks, overstamped with text inked with silver paint dabber and then blinged up.

For the crown I actually embossed with silver, very unusual for me!!! and  then painted again using the fab and versatile distress inks.......don't know how I would live without them!!!

I printed 'do you believe in fairytales' from the computer and added gorgeous Tim quote.
The flourishes are Tim Holtz die, elegant flourishes and the memo pin and tickets are also Tim Holz.
