Reminder #83: Add Spots or Stripes

 


Welcome back to a reminder at The Flower Challenge, where the challenge this month
is Add Spots or Stripes.





The stripes are text, and run down the bottom of the card, in a sweet script.


This time I used Sizzix Thinlits Brushstroke Flowers 2 & 1,  by Tim Holtz.


Oxide Ink colors by Ranger, and Hello There, an old die from PTI.

Hope to  see you in the lineup!

Harvey and Me

 


Anybody else head over heels with Tim Holtz' newest release? Love, love love, 
Harvey. He's a sweet, petite soldier guy, you can colorize any way you like. And
I like! So much do I like Harvey, I did 3 cards, and plan to do more.


Harvey can be dressed and festooned, with or without eyes and a mustache, boots, gold, boots,
any color, and anything else you want to add. 


Harvey no. 1 is dressed in bright red. And I borrowed the idea of putting him in front of
TH's iron gates, from one of the TH designers, which are really for Halloween, but are so 
darn clever I couldn't resist.
The background, ah yes, the background. Well, I don't know what it is. I found the 
embossed panel in my stash, rubbed pine oxide ink over it, then lightly rubbed copper
paste over the lifted images.
The banner is a combo of TH Deck the Halls and a leftover banner from the
Greetery (Joy to the World?)


Card 2, features Harvey on a swag built with dies from Holiday Brushstroke 3.
All over Tree Rings EF. Let me just say, this panel started off white. Then rubbed 
with Oxide Inks until I was happy.  
Be Merry: The Greetery


Harvey no. 3 took me the longest. I don't know, every thing I did just didn't
see to come together. I was finally happy with this version. 
Here's the recipe:
Background: TH Layered Plaid, which is 3 dies
Oval: Memory Box
Background in pink: TH Pine Branches
Harvey

Candy Cane & Presents: TH Santa's Helper

and Tree: Twig & Stump

thanks for hanging in, hope you enjoyed!
