Perfect Pearls Mist
Tim Holtz: A Compendium of Curiosities, Vol. 2, page 54


Super happy Friday, blog friends, and welcome to the 16th installment of this celebration of Tim Holtz and his sensational book, A Compendium of Curiosities, Vol. 2! You guys continue to inspire and amaze me with your imaginative and magnificent creations, and I so appreciate your participation. If you're new to the challenge, WELCOME! You'll never find a nicer and more talented bunch of people than the CC2C participants. 

There's another celebration happening in my house today, too: It's my awesome Mom's 80th birthday! My sample for this week's challenge is her birthday card. She's driving up today and we'll be spending the weekend doing "girl stuff" (i.e. shopping, eating, sampling wine, shopping...). My mom, Pat, is my best friend and my hero, and I'm so grateful that we get to spend her birthday together. Here she is, with her completed Configurations tray from last fall's Tim Holtz cruise:


I hope you all have some wonderful plans for this weekend, too!

To participate in CC2C #16, create your own work of art using the Perfect Pearls Mist technique on page 54 and link it to this blog using the InLinkz button at the bottom of this post. You're a rockstar as long as you honor these simple rules:
  • Follow the technique as it's written in A Compendium of Curiosities, Vol. 2 (adding your own special flair, of course!), and clearly state that the technique comes from Tim's book.
  • Include a link to this post in your blog post (or photo description if you're linking from an online photo-sharing site).
  • Out of respect to Tim, please don't post the technique instructions on your blog! Any entries that don't follow this rule will be unlinked.
  • This challenge closes on Thursday, August 9 at 8 pm MTD. Please see the CC2C FAQ here for more information.
  • Have a blast!
