Frilly and Funkie Challenge

I had so much fun entering a piece of my art into the Frilly and Funkie challenge last week that I decided I would participate again.  This week's challenge is called 'Flights of Fancy'.  You can read about it on the Frilly and Funkie blog here.  I was inspired to create some fun backgrounds using the techniques discussed in this Frilly and Funkie blog post.  After I applied some ink and paint and did some stamping on the background, I set out in search of all things pink that might fit in with the 'Flights of Fancy' theme.  Butterflies, birds, bees . . . anything with wings was fair game.  I was also trying to grab things that I felt fit in with this 'frilly' look and feel.  The tag below is what I created.  It's pretty busy and very pink!

A closer look.

Have you created anything frilly or funky lately?

Time After Time Challenge at Frilly and Funkie

I recently stumbled upon a blog called Frilly and Funkie.  Every couple of weeks they sponsor a challenge of some sort.  Right now their challenge is to create a project using clocks and time as your theme.  After pondering the idea of creating something for a challenge, and wondering how many time and clock related stamps and stencils I have, I decided to go for it.  I really enjoyed this challenge!   As my card came together I began to like it more and more.

I used a lot of Tim Holtz products:  his Clockwork stencil, a metal clock face from his Idea-ology Timepieces set, his detailed clock face stamp from his Visual Artistry Collection and his Idea-ology mini gears.  The flowers were die cut from Tim Holtz' Tattered Flower garland.

This card is what I will be submitting for the challenge.  Frilly and Funkie also have an online store with all sorts of great products.  It is called The Funkie Junkie Boutique.
