This week I have used lots of Tim Holtz products on my card, Distress Inks, Lamp Post Big Z die, Tim Holtz Tonic Scissors, Idea-ology Snowflake Adornments, Heirloom Roses & Memo Pins Split Ring metal embellishments. 

My background has been created by stamping some small snowflake stamps from Simon Says Stamp's Envelope Holiday Sentiments and I have stamped them in Stormy Sky distress ink & Hero Arts Soft Sky shadow ink & I very lightly blended Stormy Sky distress ink all over my background. I then sprayed Distress Resist Spray onto my background and once dry I again blended Stormy Sky & Broken China distress ink over it.

The sentiment is from Simon's Christmas Cheer stamp set & is stamped using Simon's Fog ink pad.

I have die cut the Big Z Lamp Post using Canson XL watercolor paper and then water coloured it using Pumice Stone, Black Soot, Wild Honey & Scattered Straw distress inks.

The corrugated card is recycled from a parcel box and the Star Anise was recycled from some potpourri I bought last Christmas and kept aside to go into my card making Christmas embellishments box.
