THE TIM HOLTZ 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS - DAY 4

For today's tag I actually had some of the right materials - in different colors or types/styles but closer than I've been on any other day.  First take a look at Tim's and then I will tell you all about mine.

To start, I didn't have grungeboard but I did have a Sizzix snowman die and snowflake die which I cut from a cereal box.  I didn't have the white stain so I used white gesso.  I cut the scarf and hat from felt.  Next I coated the snowman and snowflake with clear crackle accents as I didn't have the rock candy crackle paint.  I didn't get the nice crackles that Tim did but it does have an icy glaze to it.  I didn't have the Picket Fence stain so I used Faded Jeans and Broken China.  I misted my card front and dragged it through the stain.  I added more Broken China stain as I wanted a bit deeper of a color.  I then took some snowflake stamps and stamped on with Faded Jeans stain. I used Snow Cap Alcohol Ink to stamp a white swirl.  Finally the snowman and snowflake were dry and I was able to adhere them to the card front!

Here's the result:

I hope you are all enjoying Tim's Tags and my cards.  Please come back again tomorrow for Day 5.

  1. Turned out very cute. I am trying to play catch up. Have day 2 done now, just need to photo it and post. Started day 3 and have parts of day 4 drying. Hope to finish those two tomorrow and then start day 5. So hard when your only day off is Sunday and I shopped all day today. LOL

  2. I love the this, the snowman is so cute - he looks as if he's well wrapped up against the cold! Thanks for leaving a comment on my blog Paula, it is much appreciated.

  3. I love your snowman - the expression on his face is great, sort of "ha ha, it's cold but I don't care!" Fab project. x
