Friday Take Five: #1

 

The five items:

purple scrapbook paper

mini Paper Dolls by Tim Holtz

German Dresden gold foil

stack of mini ephemera

6 layered butterflies

The scrapbook paper is very light weight,

so I allowed myself a little more than 5 items 

by using some throw away bases.

I grabbed a bag I keep of clothing tags,

their bulb pins and string,

 and chipboard pieces that I will never use "as is,"

To challenge myself further,

I committed to using all of the layered butterflies,

which have been in my stash for years.

Here's what came out of a couple hours of playtime,

a sweet collection of tags and tucks for an upcoming journal.

I used an over the waistband tag 

to create a little flip notepad,

and a folded hangtag 

was transformed into a mini file folder.

The two pieces at bottom left

are chipboard pieces,

while everything else was created

using clothing tags.

There was even a ball chain in the bag.

It was silver,

which didn't go with my aesthetic,

so I used a little alcohol ink in antique gold 

to remedy the situation.

Bonus project:

I die cut all the paper scraps

to use as a background for a birthday greeting.

Mission accomplished!

I used all 6 butterflies!

These had 3 layers,

in order to stretch my materials,

I took a couple of them apart 

and used the layers separately.

Have a lovely weekend,

Bye for now!!!

hugs,
