I was fortunate enough to be able to attend the 2010 Tim Holtz cruise to New England. One of the projects we did one night was make three tags, one of which had a flower pin for us to wear. This was my absolute favorite tag of the three and I have since made countless flower pins as gifts. People are always amazed that I cut the material with the Vagabond. Since the challenge at Linda Ledbetter's Grungy Monday this week was "Tim Inspired Wearable Art", I decided to submit this tag and share it with you since I didn't blog way back then. I am also submitting this to Hels Sheridan's Sunday Stamper challenge of "stitches" since a little bit of sewing is necessary to make this beautiful little accessory.

| Tag is just stamped randomly and then inked. The sentiment is stamped on canvas and inked, mounted, and embellished. The corsage pink is just layered material (largest to smallest) and stitched through to attached grunge, tulle, and button. |
Supplies:
From My Stash: material, lace, tulle, ribbon, pin with back, thread, needle, black cardstock

Hello Anita
ReplyDeleteJust thought I would comment on this wonderful Tag, I have made flowers this way but mainly used them on my scrap-booking pages, I am impressed with the colour palette, Tim sometimes is too grungy for me, but here you have toned it down and warmed it up beautifully.
