Jan Bianchi Faux Roses CC#3C

Wow, here we are already into the #3rd challenge for the Compodium
Curiosity Challenges hosted by the lovely Linda Ledbetter and the #CC Crew. 
This challenge is on Faux Roses which can be found on page 65 of Tim's new
book A Compendium of Curiosities Volume III. This challenge is also being
sponsored by the Inspiration Emporium. And there will be a generous gift
for the winner from Tim and Mario.

I used a Tim Holtz Clock which I altered. I used Dina Wakely's Gesso.
Recollections Spray Ink Yellow Shimmer & Heidi Swapp Color Shine Mustard,
and Gold. I used a sheet of Once Upon A Time paper I had from Graphic 45.
The small lamp inside is from Tim Holtz Mini Lamp.
I used Once Upon a Springtime by G45 that I had been saving.
I had cut the rabbit figures, fairies, and small figure about the top of clock.
I burnt the edges on the small posting that reads, Once Upon a Springtime. 
The face of the clock on the backing I download as a freebie.
I added green moss to the bottom of the inside of the clock.
I used Kraft-Core Shattered Collection papers for my roses and foliage.
I also used Crinoline for the added layer on the foliage to add dimension.
They were colored with a variation of Tim Holtz Distress Paints.
Rangers Embossing Antiquities Frosted Crystal with Distress Stickles Dry Glitter
was also used on the roses.
I used Black Soot Distress Paint of the edges of the Bunnies and Fairies.
Sand Paper, and Dina Wakely's Crackle Texture Paste.
And of course I used the Tattered Pinecone Die Cut from Tim Holtz
for my roses. Have to say, I loved making them.
The little blue bird emblellish and butterfly I had.
The theme was for a fun whimscal feel to the piece.
Matte Modge Podge.

Enjoy the Journey!

  1. This is so incredibly clever and inventive Jan. I love the way you have hidden the light at the back of the clock for all the little bunnies to listen to their bed time stories to. Beautiful flowers too. They coordinate perfectly. Jenny x

  12. Jan...your assemblage clock is fantastic! The creamy shabby finish you've given to the silvery metal looks amazing.I so love how you've incorporated Tim's faux tea roses into your design. The Once Upon A Springtime papers from G45 was such a lovely collection. I love your Peter Rabbit theme. Thanks for sharing your art with us at CC3C. <3 Candy
