THE TIM HOLTZ 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS - DAY 3
Today is day 3 of the Tim Holts 12 Tags of Christmas and I didn't have any of the items needed to do what Tim did so I improvised. The theme of the day seemed to be using various colors of ink and embossing. I didn't have any holiday colored re-inkers to make my own felt so I decided to ink a holiday embossing folder with the 3 colors of Tim's Limited Edition Distress Inks. After embossing my paper I took a gold ink pad and swiped it over the raised areas. Then I took versa mark and swiped over it and added some gold Perfect Pearls and heat set. For my 3D decoration I took a pointsettia chipboard dimensional sticker as well as some Sizzix leaf cuts. I mounted them on a piece of music banner that I had accordian folded and covered with Walnut Distress Ink. I finished that up using crackle accents on the leaves and attached it to the center of my card. Since I am making these cards I couldn't use a jingle bell as the only ones I had were a tad too large.
It doesn't really have the same effect as Tim's but it did inspire me to make another card so I'm a happy camper.
