Case File #2 ~ Lilly's Garden

CSI: Colour, Stories, Inspiration is IN the house this week!  Week 2 and it's amazing seeing the layouts the members are creating.  For the month of January, Dusty Attic will be our sponsor and at the end of the month a lucky member will be receiving an awesome RAK from the ladies "down under".  If you're falling in love with their products like I am, check out their website for links to your closets retailer.  (America's list is finally growing!!)

The clear flower is NOT my original idea.  It was inspired by a tutorial I watched last year by one of my favorite crafters, Tammy Tutterow  To view her tutorial, click HERE and enjoy.  Her flower is more involved than mine.  I simply took my die cut and draped it on a thimble..  There are so many applications for Wendy Vecchi's Clearly For Art Moldeling Film.. We used Tim Holtz Alcohol inks to color the film.. but Copics work very well on this as well.  I stamped my image with Stazon on one side, and inked the other.

My layout ran away from me... I used my favorites!  Tim Holtz Brick Embossing folder, my TH Holly Die (branches only), Tim Holtz rubber stamps, Tim Holtz flower die, Tim Holtz Distress Inks, Rangers Stickles, Stazon and Perfect Pearls just to name a few products.

This picture was taken of my gf daughter Lilly.  Sweet little Pixie Lilly, we took her to the local gardens for some fun with our cameras.  Dee and I would wander about taking pictures, snapping shot's of her daughter and we spent the entire day in utter bliss.  Little pixie, wandered with us.. pointing out the "giant" gold fish, the fairy steps in the water, talked to dwarf and stared at waterfalls.  A truly wonderful day... but by the end, she grew tired and weary of our camera's and just wanted to go home...
