Anything Tim Holtz inspired......

I made this card for for 2 Challenges.At Simon Says Stamp and Show the challenge this week is  "Anything Tim Holtz inspired".As you know by now, I love distressing and getting my fingers inky, so couldn't stop myself...lol.
I got the idea from the Inchie challenge at Embellish mag. blog


 I made the Center Inchie panel first. Embossed the wild grass with black ep. on watercolor paper and distressed it with some peeled paint and Dusty concord Distress inks, spritz the perfect pearl water. Now adhered the edged inchies, keeping the center one in 3D. Then for the corner triangles, clear embossed the same stamp but making sure my grass points towards center. I then distressed using the same colors and cut my inchies and edged. Adhered them all in the corners. Did some faux stitching around my center panel, put some glossy accent on the butterflies. To look at the shine, here is the closeup.
Hope you enjoyed the process as much as I did making it.

Love the soft colouring here, Isha. Are the inches pre-cut or have you done that yourself?
