Fab 5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOO! It's time for Fab 5 again today. Just one day only. This month we are featuring Tim Holtz Rosette die. I love this die so much. I use it all the time so I had my project done ages ago, I just had to make sure to limit myself because I could make dozens of projects with this die.

Here's the idea that I ended up going with. 

It was definitely time for me to make a page for my new home. I love how this turned out.

Here's the main feature of today's post. The TIM HOLTZ ROSETTE DIE. I actually used the Mini Rosettes die (that's the one that I have). It's a really good substitution for flowers. If you want something like a flower but not as fat, the rosettes lie flatter than most 3D flowers do. It's also good if you're making something for a guy. Flowers are just too feminine for them and this is a good alternative.

The die cut out and placed behind the two rosettes is called Amira Flourish and it's Memory Box

This banner was made with the Memory Box Scalloped Banner die and some circular alphabet sitckers

The window has several components to it. First of all, the window is Memory Box Small Madison Window. the valance hanging above the window is from Spellbinders Blossoms Tags & Accents set, folded in half over the window. The tree is from Memory Box: Twiggy Tree. The leaves for the tree are a Martha Stewart punch called Branch. 

I did a little distressing on the tree with Vintage Photo distress ink as well as on the leaves with Pine Needles distress ink to make them look more realistic. Also, hard to see in the pictures, but I also used Broken China to make clouds/sky on the blue background

So, I guess that I didn't control myself well with this page...I kinda went overboard with the dies and supplies but I had so much fun and it turned out so nice.

Supplies:

Paper: MME Fiddlesticks "Lucky" Tapestry (from the Miss Caroline collection)-this was the background

Kaiser Craft "Reunion" (from the These Days collection)-this was used for the rosettes
