Compendium of Curiosities v2, ch 10

Hi, everyone! Friday saw the new challenge launched by Linda at Studio L3 from volume 2 of Tim's Compendium of Curiosities, sponsored by Funkie Junkie Boutique. with a $25 voucher up for grabs - thank you!  Amazingly we are on challenge 10 (I've missed a few!) and is the fabulous tissue wrap flower... which I'd not done before...

I took a tag that I'd started some time ago and not been sure how to "finish"... Dylusions sprays (a more muted look as it is the tag I used to 'mop up' the wet ink on a first sprayed tag) and Dylusions stamps from Around the Edge.

 I made the tissue wrap flower according to the instructions in the book (and on a 12 Tags of Christmas 2011 tag where Tim first showed us the flower) - the first one (not the one I used here) was a bit bigger (didn't measure it) and scruffier!! I think it definitely requires practice, this technique...

Added some pink ribbons and fibres and a Dylusions sentiment brushed lightly with shaded lilac distress ink (can't wait to get my summer ones - that pink would have been perfect here...)

Sprayed the layers of tissue wrap with the pink Dylusions spray before folding it, it is pinker than it looks here!

I chose pink for the flower because I thought it looked a bit like a waterlily.....









I am also entering this in Hels' Sunday Stampers challenge "Pretty in Pink" too.
It was Hels' birthday on Wednesday and this is the card I sent her. Hope you had a great day, Hels'.
