Frilly and Funkie - Springtime Die Cuts

Hello Everyone!

It's time for another wonderful challenge over at Frilly and Funkie! This time Nicole is our lovely hostess and she has chosen the theme SPRINGTIME DIE CUTS. She would like you to create a shabby chic or vintage style project celebrating Springtime and remember to include die cuts. One lucky winner will receive a $25 gift certificate to Linda's shop The Funkie Junkie Boutique!

This month the world celebrates Earth Day on the 22nd, so I thought I would put a green foot forward and make a card almost completely out of recycled Kraft Paper. The butterflies, the tags, the flowers, the leaves, the lattice and the wood backing are all made out of Kraft paper. Hope you enjoy my Spring Earth Day card.


Here are the die sets that I used for my Earth Day card: They are all from the Sizzix/Tim Holtz line
- Mixed Media Thinlits
- Bookplates and Tag
- Tattered Florals
- Butterfly Duo
- Garden Greens
- French Flight
- Distressed Doily


The bottom layer is another new attempt at a wood technique, I love experimenting with natural textures. This time I coated the wood with Wendy Vecchi crackle paste and then treated it with various Tim Holtz inks and sprays and let it dribble up and down to create the grain.


The top tag was coated with Picket Fence crackle paint and coloured with Shabby Shutters and Tumbled Glass sprays and then some more dripping with Gathered Twigs and Peeled Paint.


The sentiment is from the new Graphic 45 series called Time to Flourish. I stamped it with Ranger Coffee Archival ink and then fussy cut it out and coloured it with Copic markers.

On the bottom tag I used the Tim Holtz Flourish stencil and some crackle paste and then dripped distress sprays into the cracks. The leaves were dabbed with Picket Fence paint and then sprayed with Peeled Paint spray.



The large butterflies were treated with Tumbled Glass, Shabby Shutters and Peeled Paint and dabbed with Picket Fence. The small butterflies were coloured with Wild Honey, Scattered Straw and Squeezed Lemonade. The pearls are from the new Kaisercraft collection, this colour is called Chino, a beautiful vintage colour of pearl now available at Linda's shop.



The flowers were coated with Picket Fence crackle paint and then I dripped Victorian Velvet spray all over the petals. The doily is one of the only pieces cut from regular white card stock.



I am entering my Earth Day card into the following wonderful challenges:

  13. WOW!!! Pamellia, this is one breathtaking card!!! Also, the flowers have hypnotizing effect, at least on me, cause I could not get my eyes off of them!!! It took a while and some super extra will power to move my eyes from them! There are so many gorgeous details on this card, I don't even know where to begin with my praise?!?! I guess I'll start with hypnotizing flowers :) The color and aged look of them is outrageously gorgeous!!! The peeking doily is such a fantastic touch! Butterflies look out of this world, the tags are so beautifully arranged and designed and the wood background looks amazing!!! Tutorial please!!!
    If I had to describe this card with one word it would be JAWDROPPING, cause my jaw did drop and luckily I was very close to my computer screen that it did not hit the floor, just top of my desk...
    Another stunner my friend! See you on the dancefloor :)
