Tim Holtz Artist Trading Card

Hello my lovelies, hope you are well and staying safe? There's so much chaos and uncertainty in the world right now. Everybody is unnerved and a lot of people in the crafting community are showing camaraderie and sending out a positive message to carry on crafting, which I think is a great idea. 

Please though stay indoors if you can and take care of yourselves and your families. 

Arty Divas  is hosting their brand new challenge, which starts today. The theme is ATG and you can create anything you wish, a card, tag, an ATC, mixed media project etc! The Design Team look forward to seeing your lovely creations! 

For my DT creation I have made a friendship ATC. My mojo has been missing lately, so a small project is just what I needed to get back into the swing of things! 

I have created a collage background using various torn pieces of paper and ephemera. Everything has been distressed with Vintage Photo Distress ink. 
Finally, I adhered these wonderful Tim Holtz paper dolls, I just love them! 

Thank you so much for stopping by, I really appreciate your visit and kind comments! 
Stay safe. 

I would like to enter my creation into the following challenges:

Altered vintage book page paper clips

Hello lovely crafty friends, hope you are well! I am back again to share another DT creation for Linda Israel using the gorgeous 'Outrageous Orange' printable journal kit. This time I have created some altered paper clips using vintage book pages. You can find the fabulous tutorial by Paper crafter 45 here: 

Following the above tutorial I tweaked mine to make different sizes, which is super simple to achieve!

The paper clips are hidden at the back of the book page so that it can easily fit onto your journal pages; see photograph below. 

For this particular one I have used one of the pieces of flower ephemera included in the Outrageous Orange kit. 

Here is a close up of the altered vintage book pages. I have used the ephemera in the kit along with some torn pieces of a distressed brown envelope and cheese cloth.

Here is my altered file folder  that I also made using Linda's kit. Thanks so much for stopping by, see you on the next one! Hugs, Zowie xx 



Calico Collage teamed up with Linda Israel and created the Outrageous Orange printable journal kit. This kit merges Linda's mixed media art with Norella's digital style to create a unique one of a kind kit. You can buy the exclusive printable Outrageous Orange kit at Linda's Shop. Also make sure to stop by Norella's shop for over 1000 digital products to use in your paper crafts. 

Through The Craft Room Door Challenge

Hello lovely friends, hope you are well! Today there is a new challenge over at 'Through the craft room door'. The sponsors this week are Createful Heart Design and here is a little bio about them:

Hello and welcome to our store, Createful Heart Design! My husband and I create cute and wonderful digital images - for all of your card making, scrapbooking etc.. Just print and color in by hand or we have a few pre-colored images available, soon to offer more! 

The prize of this challenge is four beautiful digital stamps from their Zibbet store. 

Here is an art journal page that I have made for this challenge using the wonderful Vintage butterfly air mail digital stamp. When I saw this, I knew that I wanted to make something vintage and grungy!

To colour the Butterfly, I have used a selection of brown tone Faber Castel pencils. 

I have used a selection of Royal Langnickel Crafters choice acrylic paint in almond, raw umber and burnt umber to create the background of my art journal page. I also used a variety of mixed media stamps along with Archival jet black ink.

Finally, I printed out the quote 'blessed are the curious, for they shall have adventures' and added it to the page. 

Thanks so much for stopping by, see you on the next post, hugs Zowie xx
