Compendium of Curiosities Challenge


I must say that Tim Holtz is one of my most inspiring artists. I have been watching the Studio L3 blog and the Compendium of Curiosities challenge for several weeks now, 7 to be exact. It is now on to challenge #7 called "Tinted Vision Fragments". I finally had some time to sit down and make a card front. What fun I had, playing with all my alcohol inks. The only catch for this challenge is that you must own the Compendium of Curiosities Book by Tim Holtz. This challenge is found on page 55 and that is all I can tell you. If you need more information about these challenges you can click on my link on the left side and it will take you to Studio L3 and Linda's blog. She does some great projects.

I can tell you what products I used for my card front. I used charm fragments with Meadow, Red Pepper and Caramel alcohol ink. I also used Memory Foil Tape and Misc. red ribbon. The stamp sets are Tim's Mini Holidays and Fancy Pants holiday. The colors used on the card front are shabby Shutters, Pine Needle and Peeled Paint along with SU's Ruby Red.

  2. Stacey, I'm so happy you joined the challenge! Your card is absolutely gorgeous! Your tinted fragment ornaments are just perfect, and the lovely background and elegant stamping really allow them to take center stage. I love the little rhinestone ornament hangers-- that's a clever idea.

    Your card is truly wonderful, and I hope you'll be back again next week!

    Hugs,
    Linda
