Friendship & Flowers

Hello again and welcome to Day Two of November Sneak Peeks! Now that you’re all warm and cozy from our fantastic hot-beverage set yesterday, today we’re going to celebrate all that’s warm and special about friendship.

I decided to make a vintage Tim Holtz inspired tag.  I used various Tim Holtz distress ink pads to achieve this look.  The seam binding is hand dyed with the distress inks as well.  I absolutely love Sam's images for my mixed media projects.  They have such an artistic flair to them, and the long stems work great for tags.

The pretty Swarovski crystal charm is a cell phone charm that my mom made for me many years ago before smart phones were so popular.  Beading was my mom's hobby that I dearly miss.  She was always making pretty beaded bookmarks to match each book she was currently reading.  When she passed away I made sure to get all of her bookmarks.  I gave a few away to close family members so they would have something to remember her by.
