Homage - To Edgar, Tim and the Raven.

A strange title I know but the darkness of this creation, coupled with the bird (is it a raven?) and the challenge I am entering all played their part.

Working with a set of Tim's stamps I decided I would try out some sewing and acetate together.  I had used acetate sewn to cards many years ago, with the acetate used more as a cover over some pressed flowers.  In this piece I stamped on the back and front of the acetate with various images and sewed them onto a triple folded piece of card which had some sentiments stamped onto.  I personally like the depth of colour and the slightly Gothic feel of this card.





I used some additional word pieces, some ribbon a dragonfly brad and a flower in purple hues to finish off the piece.  So there it is, Edgar Allan Poe, Tim Holtz and a Raven (still not sure what bird it is) all in one place - where else would you get them?

Hope you like it?

So the challenge is HERE. It is the Cards Galore Challenge 'A Homage to Tim Holtz'.

Happy crafting to all of you - if you visit me please be kind enough to leave a comment. Thanks.
