Pretty in Pink

Tim has been inspiring me again... I started from his awesome March Tag and veered off into my own journey.  I am also playing along with The Vintage Journey challenge who are celebrating their birthday by hosting an "Anything Tim" challenge. 




Tim started with a fun paint technique in the background with tissue tape.  I followed that with some pretty pastel paints.   

His next step involved masking and applying embossing powder.  I had some pretty pink sparkle on the table so I swapped out the embossing powder and sprinkled my embossing paste with glitter.  I used the new Tim Holtz Layering Stencil - Flourishes. 

I had this Sizzix Bigz Layering butterfly left over from another project so I decided to use it as my focal point with a sparkly heart accented with a piece of costume jewelry.

With the music in the tissue tape I pulled out a sentiment tied to music. 

Have a fun and glittery day (I will be from all the glitter that walks away with you)

    Yay Sue, how lovely you could join the birthday celebrations at AVJ with this amazing tag. I love the colour combinations and the fabulous patterned background but more than that I adore the gorgeous butterfly.
    Thanks for sharing your beautiful party piece with us.

    Glittered embossing paste is one of my favorites. And in pink, it's divine. Beautiful tag, Suzz!

    I love your colors and of course, the GLITTER! I've been thinking of hanging that butterfly on my tag, too, since I have a gorgeous one I've been dressing up on my worktable. We'll see! Great exciting tag, Suzz!
