It’s Wednesday and time for the funkie side of the design team to share our projects for the current challenge over at the Frilly and Funkie Challenge Blog!
I am hosting the current challenge and have chosen the theme BLOOMIN’ MARVELLOUS, “As spring pokes it’s head through the frozen ground, let’s celebrate the season and create a vintage or shabby chic project with flowers as the focus and in vintage muted pastel tones, (no brights).”
I love it when Stampers Anonymous and Sizzix get together to create framelits die to match stamps for the Tim Holtz line! When I set the theme for this challenge, I had the “Flower Jar” sets in mind!
I also absolutely love Tim Holtz’s design tape… well in truth, I absolutely love to collect it, but I rarely ever use it because it’s SO nice! But I finally feel ready to use a teeny weeny bit and created a background mount using scrap cardstock with design tape around the edges.
I stitched over the design tape and created a foreground using distress oxides and a stamped image from the etcetera stamp set (CMS302). To create the scratches I used a stamp from an older set, slight alterations (CMS060), stamped in frayed burlap distress ink.
I distressed the foreground edges with a paper distresser tool, blended in walnut stain distress ink, stitched and mounted onto the design tape edged background.
The flowers were created using the flower jar stamp set (CMS297) and framelits flower jar die set. I used distress markers, a waterbrush and my trusty sidekick. I will be back on Saturday with a “Saturday Showcase” for Frilly & Funkie, showcasing the paired flower jar stamps and framelits, along with a step by step for this card.
I hope you will find time to join in the challenge and pop over to Frilly and Funkie challenge blog to see the rest of the DT’s projects. All the products I used are available from The Funkie Junkie Boutique.
Thanks for stopping by.
Zoe

Absolutely Gorgeous Zoe. I love your inspiring work and your explainations. Sarah x
Zoe, how do I love this? Let me count the many ways! First those flowers look so REAL! I cannot wait for your tutorial on Saturday! And the panel that backs them looks like it’s something you pulled from an old ledger–so perfectly aged! Using the tape with the stitching is an incredibly genius move that only you could conjure up! I could not wait to see what you made for this challenge, and I am definitely NOT disappointed! You rocked it! Hugs!
This really was a great idea and came together beautifully! I love everything about this stunning card! Hugs, Autumn
LOVE the layered backgrounds on this vintage romantic piece!
FAB-U-LOUS! I love the tape around the frame and the journal stamped background for the flower jars makes this super vintage. The flower jars are popping off the page and you have given them such lovely colour. Can’t wait to see your showcase.
WOW This is gorgeous! I now need a sewing machine!
This is so pretty Zoe! The detail is amazing. Looking forward to your post on Saturday!
Great job Zoe. The colours are what I would see in my Grandmothers garden when she was alive. Really a lovely piece. Do you have a sewing machine dedicated to paper crafts or …?
Thanks for sharing.
Zoe, this is a real stunner, I love the muted shades of those flowers, they look like fresh picked wildflowers. Love the jars too. I am glad someone else hoards that design tape, will have to open up all my packets and try using them! xx
Zoe this is absolutely gorgeous. I adore the stitching and background stamping. Beautiful flowers too. Tracy xxx
Zoe, you have such an artist’s eye! I look st your color choices, the stitching and the perfect placement of each and every element and just marvel! This is so perfectly vintage and completely wonderful! Your work of art is Bloomin marvelous!
Everything you create is just perfection. You always inspire me!
Really love your work, and you inspire me all the time.
I really, really love this! The flowers are so realistic and I love the mason jars. Those colors are the exact colors I look for when planting flowers in my yard!
Fabulous! I love the layering and shadowing which makes the flowers and jars look three dimensional. Gorgeous!
