A Blog Named Hero - Make Your own Embellishment

I've got lot's of home made embellishments, as I'm sure we all do, which I've been meaning to use, but I made a new one, so I hopefully I'll make another card.

So anyway, I noticed on Cecilia's blog that Tim Holtz had a challenge using the tattered flowers die and  since I haven't yet mastered this die, I thought I should have some practice. Mine is different to to Tim's method, because I used DP instead of paint, but I intend to try that for my next attempt.

Here is my card...

I used more of the gorgeous Authentique DP - I got some 1/2 price pads at the last Craft Fair.
The sentiment is from PTI.
The card base is from a stationary store - I love the natural look. Cecilia told me about this shop
Paper Point selling Neenah Solar White paper and when I went there I found they also had lots of Washi and other enticing goodies!

Have a look here if you want to join the fun

or TIM HOLTZ

I forgot to mention that I based this card on the sketch for the Retro Sketch challenge
so I shall enter their challenge too.

  1. Great card Jenny! Sounds like I'm a bad influence on you! Glad you found the shop - they have a discount if you buy 50 sheets.

  2. Gorgeous - love the addition of bakers twine behind the flower. I'm off to investigate the Tim Holtz challenge. I'll email you separately about Thailand.
