Yesterday saw the launch of a brand new challenge blog
It's a vintage and shabby chic style Tim Holtz inspired challenge blog run by the ever so wonderful Brenda Brown and supported by a whole host of wonderfully talented gals. You must go check it out.
The first theme as you would imagine was 'Anything Tim' though mine turned into everything Tim lol
I started by making a hidden book stack from envelopes, I then inked um all up with distress, I used papers from the French Industrial pad, along with some of the new ephemera pack pieces to decorate the front. I also used a Tim stamp {from the shabby french set} for the postmark , and some pearl beads for the feet.
I chucked in a few alteration die-cuts and some copper idea-ology bits and bobs.
The inside I keep a little lighter, a bit more shabby, using more of the papers, ephemera and die-cuts, along with some lace, rose ribbon and tag.
{oh and wish me good luck, i've applied for the last DT spot!}
Stay Inky

It's beautiful, Nicky - I love the idea of using the envelopes!! Good luck indeed.
Beautifully creative and full of vintage delights Nicky. I love the concept of the book stack with little feet and buckled up and of course there's lots of Tim goodness to add to the creative mix. This is perfect to take travelling on A Vintage Journey, thanks so much for sharing it with us and good luck with the Creative Guide call xx
