CC3 #8 - FADED LAYERS

Page 58 of Tim's Compendium of Curiosities has details of how to create Faded Layers and all the details for this challenge can be found HERE. There are prizes to be won too. Tim and Mario have provided an enormous pile of prizes for the Curiosity Crew to give out and this week the Funkie Junkie Boutique are sponsoring the overall winner. To say I had a little bit of trouble with this technique I'm really happy with the end result - a lovely little card for my stash box ready for sending to a pal for their birthday. I'm a bit of a Tim fan and have rather a lot of his products including ALL the alcohol inks. I use them for all kinds of things but really love the effect of Faded Layers because how ever you begin and whatever you use you will never ever get the same background. It's so exciting.

I decided to use some greens, yellow and caramel for my base. Unfortunately that's all I can tell you. Have a look at page 58 and you will see how to create yours.

Plastic packaging makes lovely flowers, leaves, butterflies etc and that is just what I used for the flowers on this, coloured with alcohol inks of course. The centres are little piles of Beadazzles which I always end up chasing around my craft room!! The rub ons are from Tim's Botanical Remnant Rubs, another simple embellishment but one that adds just the right touch. I had fun today completing my card so why not give it a go yourself??
