THE TIM HOLTZ 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS - DAY 1

Tim's tag day1

I decided that instead of tags I would use the techniques to make 12 cards.  We are supposed to modify with our own supplies when we don't have what Tim has used.  Instead of the snowflake embossing folder I used Swirls.  I did not have the Noel so I used a Sizzix Angel.  Instead of the banner I stamped some music and distressed it using Distress Walnut Ink.  I don't have the pine cone die so I used the rosette die and some small sizzix leaves.  I colored these with the limited edition Distress Holiday Inks.  I did the background of the card with the limited edition inks too and added a Martha Stewart border punch.
