     Pinquette Mary here with my post for Anything Goes. I chose to make a shadow box with mixed media. I guess you would say it's where Pinque Peacock and Tim Holtz meet,lol. Since June used to be the month for weddings (as a Floral Designer I can honestly say we have more Fall weddings lately) I decided to do a Love project. 

       Can you believe how awesome these Layered Garden Beauty flowers are? They are available HERE in a variety of colors. Did you know you can custom order these in what ever color you'd like?

 Jess loves to do custom orders. All you have to do is tag her on the Shop page.

     I also used the fabulous 3 Girl Jam Ribbon also available in the shop. If you haven't tried this wonderful crinkle ribbon then you are really missing out on a fantastic product.

     Did I mention that I also used Tim Holtz? Those are his grunge letters that are awesome with PP flowers. I used the Pitch Black Dabber by Ranger on the letters first then added some gold to shade the letters.

    
     I added one of Tim"s trinkets with the FOREVER saying to the lower flower center. The background paper and the blocks "Day By Day" where also included in the paperstack. I used some Jolee fabric flowers and bows as accents. Of course flowers need stems so I used some fibers for them. The large Layered Garden Beauty has some 3 Girl Jam ribbon for its stem. I was going to add a clock face but I thought it would overwhelm the project so I opted for a stamped image instead.
     Well that's about all there is for details. i hope you have a wonderful week.

Altered Tag

     Welcome ladies for our 5th Challenge: Altered Tags. Pinquette Mary here with my submission for this challenge and of course I used a layered Garden Beauties.  I already used a Splendid Swirls for my layout on the hop and knew I would use the Garden Beauty for my tag. before weget started I just wanted to include the link for where to find my personal favorite from this month's release: Nana's Pillowcase. They are absolutely gorgeous! You can find them at the Shop HERE . I digress, lol, Let's take a look at my tag shall we?

     I love how bold this flower is! For this tag I started with the flower and built everything around it. I started with a Tim Holtz manila tag as the base and found some cardstock with the same color and tiny pink polka dots on the background. It was perfect to do some heat embossing with this script lettering stamp.

   
     I found this saying in a my stash of quotes and loved the saying as well as the colors. Just a little matting with black and yellow to set the saying off but it still lacked something, but what? Well of course, BLING, duh!!! I had these perfect hot pink pearls and decided to off set them from each other. Why? It's because I am the artist, the creator of this project sooo...I can that's why, lol. My word of advice just try it. If you like it perhaps someone else will as well.

   
     Now it's coming together! I added a punched border and found this wonderful birdcage sticker and it seemed perfect for this tag. All there was left to do was to add some inking to the edges of the tag base, adhere and add some 3 girl Jam ribbon and there you have, my altered tag.
     Now it's your turn to enter this fun challenge. You can do that HERE. I can't wait to see what you create!
 I have entered this tag in the Anything Goes challenge @ 3 Girl Jam. You can enter HERE with your magnificent tag!
