This week at the Frilly and Funky challenge blog, Sue is challenging us to ‘layer it on and share a word’. Lots of layers and the focus must be a word! I just love how my talented teamies keep coming up with unusual and thought provoking challenges!
I began with an extra large kraft tag, folding it across the top and adding a layer of Distress Crackle Paint in picket fence…one of my very favorite paint finishes! I tucked a gorgeous deep lace under the fold and covered the tag with paper scraps in creams and whites. A layer of white distress stain toned some of the papers down and unified the background. I stamped the large ‘Fabulous Flourishes’ stamp off center, with walnut stain distress ink and spritzed it with water to fuzz the boundaries…
Some color was added to the stamp in soft sepia tones with Copics. After deciding on my word, I found some copper glittered alphas to command the space…
I couldn’t resist some champagne glass glitter…love the soft glow against the whites, creams and copper…
The flower was made out of some Melissa Frances zipper ribbon, coiled in two circles. There’s a layer of tea dyed cheesecloth peeking out from behind and a thin swirling flourish cut from copper metallic card stock and cut in two before being added to the tag.
Thanks Sue for a fun and challenging challenge!

Rebecca, this is gorgeous! Definitely funky in all its gorgeousness and frilliness. Love the soft colors and the romantic feel to your tag – again, it is gorgeous! hugs, de
I absolutely ADORE this, Rebecca. Such awesome shabby whites and creams. Wonderful blending of newsprint and music notes and that flourish looks sensational colored in the sepia tones. Seriously cool layering going on here too. Super take on this week’s challenge theme!
Hugs,

So GORGEOUS ..LOVE the colors and all the details!
As always Rebecca a stunningly beautiful creation … I love everything about this … the lace the flower the glitter … Beautiful!
This is one elegant and gorgeous tag! Love the layers and design! Have fun!
Another fabulous creation, Rebecca! Love the glittery elements superimposed on top of the vintage ones, turning this into the perfect mix of glamorous shabby chic! Let’s call it “glammy chic.” I’d put this on a little stand as table art. Thanks so much for the inspiration!
I LOVE this! This tag is amazing – I love the crackle effect, the lace is wonderful and all the stamp details just make it magical. I am always very partial to the neutral palette and this is gorgeous! Thanks for sharing and inspiring! Love from Laura xxxxxxx
I love all of the layers on your tag! The neutral palate and the lace and crackle effect add up to a beautiful shabby/chic look!
Beautiful- I thought this was a piece of wood you had glammed up. So awesome.
Completely fallen in love with this, Rebecca – the neutral colour palette, the shabby woodwork, book text, music – ticks every single one of my boxes – just gorgeous!

There is just something about neutrals that makes my heart glad…the whites, creams and softness. Maybe becuase I love old things so much…antiques, old china and mason jars in that lovely blue-green color…this is just such a lovely project! You are too KIND to share it with all of us! You did that word great justice!!!
Hugs,
Jill
