Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge: Matching Set Earrings using Tim Holtz Supplies

Happy Thanksgiving week and welcome to another Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!  This week's theme is "matching set."  I made a matching set of earrings using Tim Holtz supplies.

I started by pulling some pieces out of Tim Holtz's Junk Drawer Baseboards collection.  These pieces are all made of thick chipboard stuff.  I cut some of the pieces and painted them around the edges to give more color variety.

While the paint was drying, I got out some white beads and colored them with alcohol ink.  While the beads were drying, I cut some scraps of Tim Holtz's Red Collage fabric and stuck them on one of Tim's loop pins.  Then I added one of the alcohol-inked beads to each loop pin.

I got out my trusty Crop-A-Dile and made some holes in the chipboard pieces, then attached the pins and bead elements.  I found some flower-shaped metal bead caps and beads in my stash and attached them to the front of the earrings with wire pins going through the back.

I dangled one last long wire/bead pin from the middle.  I attached the earrings to some earring loops and these babies were done!

Here they are swinging away when I gave them a little nudge!
