Celebrate Mini Bernice - Tim Holtz Colorize

Mini Bernice from Tim Holtz Colorize is ready to celebrate! Instead of a card to celebrate, how about making a vignette box? This celebratory box can be placed at a table setting for the person being celebrated, or on a desk or dresser or bookshelf as a reminder of a special moment. 

I just love that the re-release of some of our favorite Tim Holtz Colorize animals included new mini versions. The mini Bernice fit perfectly on a square vignette box with enough room for a sentiment and a bunch of balloons.

Here is a short video showing how to cover the vignette box and assemble Mini Bernice.  

The Idea-ology Palette papers are so perfect for making fun vintage patterned balloons.

I colored Distress Cracked Leather cardstock with various browns and Tattered Rose Distress spray stains. I think the cracked leather paper gives the hippos and elephants a very authentic skin texture.

I needed to make sure that Bernice was grounded on the front, so I tore a little strip of the yellos book page  from the Palette Yellow, and adhered it to the front before I attached Bernice. Then added some Cello Tape because I could. 

The sentiment is from the Handwritten die release earlier this year and I also cut it from Palette paper as well as the hat and glasses. 

From this angle you can see that I put foam tape behind Bernice and behind the three small balloons, all to add a bit of dimension to this piece.

The large Square Vignette Box is covered with Palette Yellow. The bitty floral on the front and the tickets on the sides. I added some bits of Idea-ology Cello Tape here and there to go with the vintage feel of this piece.

 Thank you so much for visiting!

Have a creative day,

Tami
