Embellishments, Trinkets and Trims Frilly and Funkie Challenge

Time for another challenge over at The Frilly and Funkie Blog and this time hosted by Jenny.  Her challenge is Embellishments, Trinkets and Trims and she says "Linda sells a huge array of beautiful embellishments, trinkets and trims in her store (The Funkie Junkie Boutique), from metal filigree pieces and charms to buttons, laces and ribbons. They can be the important focal point on a project or the final finishing touches that complete it. However you wish to use them lets see those embellishments, trinkets and trims in action on your vintage or shabby chic entries."

My Take on the Challenge

I totally love Stamperia papers and The Funkie Junkie Boutique carries many of their collections.  One of my favorites is Alice, what a wonderful fun collection.  I also happened upon Tim Holtz's Big Talk Snarky quote collection.  Oh there are some great quotes in there, many of which I've said in my head, but fortunately not aloud!  Anyway, I thought this quote worked with the Alice papers.

As usual I've used a Graphic 45 large tag in kraft.  Then I layered up some of the design papers.  Alice is fussy cut and popped up over a cut-apart card that is also popped up with cardboard.  (I use cardboard when I am popping up larger pieces as it provides a sturdy base without have to use so much foam tape.  It gets expensive ya know?)

I used charms, a button and ribbons to embellish my tag.   The two teacups are fussy cut from the design paper and popped up with foam dots.

I stenciled on the word Adventure before adding Alice to the tag. The Big Talk Snarky quote is printed on bright white paper which just doesn't work.  A quick inking with Distress Antique Linen fixed that right up.

Take a look at that ever so cool white rabbit charm down in the lower corner.  Isn't that just the coolest charm? (click on the photo for a better look.)  I used a silver filigree metal piece and heat embossed it with Ancient Amber embossing powder.  I layered on a flower and topped it with this cool rabbit charm from the store.  

The metal teacup and teapot charms are from my stash and I've no idea where they came from or how long I've had them.  They work nicely with this tag though!

 I wanted a gold button over my gingham ribbon but didn't have one so I used Eileen Hull's thick embossing powder to make my own.  I just dabbed on some embossing ink, sprinkled on the powder and heated.  I think it turned out great!
