hello friends, hope you're having a great day! Today I have a little home deco piece to share with you! I really had fun making it! Anytime I get to play with paper and ink I'm in my happy place. Love these shades of pink! If you knew what a teddy bear nut I am, you would say that I need help! My focal image of the teddies came from a sweet little note card I found stashed away.
First, I attached my backgound paper to medium weight chipboard, then used my Tim Holtz distress tool to all the edges and then applied distress ink to them. Borders were punched with a Martha Stewart punch to layer around the piece. On top of the border embellishments, I layered vanilla cardstock that was embossed with a folder from Embossilicous first. However, you have to look really close to see it! Victorian Velvet distress ink was used to highlight the embossed butterflies and was splattered in various areas over the paper. Several different styles of flourishes and elements were cut and placed on top of that layer. They were distressed with the same color ink. Flatback pearls were applied to a few of the flourishes and the butterfly. I love those pretty lil things, nothing more feminine! Well, maybe diamonds! LOL

The cute little flowers were made with the new Tim Holtz mini tattered flower die set and colored some of them with V V distress ink and distress the others with vintage photo. Rock candy glitter was used on the pink flowers but it's difficult to see it in the pictures! A die from Cottage Cutz called Garden Flourish was used on the top layer. The leaves were made with a little die from La La Land Crafts. The seam binding ribbon bow was colored with V V distress ink.

The butterfly was distressed with V V ink, then folded in half. The die used was from spellbinders called Outrageous Butterfly. It makes a gorgeous butterfly! A little gesso was splattered here and there for highlights. The small easel from Tim Holtz was used to display my project. I truly hope you like my creation and get a little inspiration from it!
