12 Tags of 2016 January

Welcome everyone!

This year I have decided to create every month a new Tim inspiration tag, hopefully ;-)
no idea if it is always right techniques or products, 
I just do what comes to mind  and let me surprise what comes out at the end !

True to the motto  JUST FOR FUN :-)

Contrasts

Welcome!

today a new home decor project for Tresors de Luxe
as I saw the great black lace, I thought, yes - just right for my home decoration project. It was a christmas gift and I was happy about this, but it must be more suitable to our home.
As you might have already noticed, I love contrasts, not only in colors, also in style. Generally are my favs altered items, but it can be also more fantastic and magic.  
But I will not tell so much, but rather show a lot here, or :-)?!


a combination from romantic vintage style with a touch of steampunk


that's my first tryings with the die 'Tattered flowers' from Tim Holtz



 with lighting 



crackle paint effects
distress ink + stencil diamonds
and this magical black lace

If you have questions how I do this, please ask me!

You are my treasure

Welcome!

while cleaning up I found an old scrapbook paper from Prima Marketing ''Pixie Glen''
I love this collection and it was always too shame to use it
but today I thought, hopefully the icy cold winter will soon be over! 
I was inspired from some Mood boards this month, beautiful flowers and  delicate pastel colors
perfectly for my new Layout .











Scrap Africa - #67 my inspiration - pastel colors
I hope it would be a very creative year with new inspirations and ideas
and more time to try it new techniques

Shabby chic Diary

Welcome!
today a new project for Tresors de Luxe
I used a lot of laces and crochet pieces with beautiful details
which you can see on detail photos
I was always inspired from fabric collages and wanted to try it,
that's my first and what should I say,
I need to do more now :-)
 
I have sewed a cover from old cotton fabric
and created a fabric paper collage for my diary.


 Tutorial
how you make a 3D flower from laces,
 totally simple, but with effect!


cut a single flower, use a twine
 wrap around the center of the flower and fix it with a little bit hot glue
and finished








Challenges
