My card today features Tim Holtz Sizzix Ice Skates BigZ die, Holiday Words Embossing Folder, Antique Linen, Vintage Photo & Frayed Burlap Distress Inks.

This wasn't the card I intended to create at all! I had chosen a lovely Santa stamp to use for this challenge & stamped it ready to use but when I began looking through my huge stash of Tim Holtz products I had so many ideas whizzing around my head & knowing that I am happiest creating what I feel like making I just went with it!

I die cut the ice skates and roughly added the creases in the skates with my copics and then added distress inks to them to add colour. I heat embossed some Stampendous Frantage Embossing Enamel to the blades to add a little texture and interest to them.

I embossed a background using Tim Holtz Holiday Words embossing folder and ink blended some Antique Linen lightly over it and then ink blended over lots of different die cuts to use as embellishments including SSS Maryanne Snowflake, Pine Needles, Holly Fanfare, Holly & Pine Frame, & Mini Stars wafer dies. 

I've used SSS black pigment ink to stamp a sentiment from Simon Says Stamps Christmas Cheer stamp set and added some Prima White Christmas In The Country Flowers & Tonic Nuvo Simply White & Pale Gold Crystal Drops & Honey Gold Glitter Drops.

 Other supplies used -

 SSS Embossing ink pad, Die cutting machine, Elizabeth Craft Designs Double Sided Tape, Tonic Guillotine, Tim Holtz Stamping Platform, Tonic Scissors, SSS Tacky Glue, Ranger Heat Tool,  SSS white wood grain card stock, May Arts twine

Happy DieCember

It's the 1st December & in our world at Simon Says Stamp that means it's time for this years fabulous 

DieCember 

new release.

I ink blended some Broken China distress Oxide over the center area of my card and once dry I stenciled over it using Stormy Sky Distress Oxide with Simon Says Stamps Diagonal Stripe stencil.

I die cut the inner Thank You dies from Simon's new Thank You dies set from the center of my card and then spritzed the background with water before popping the die cuts out.

The Thank You border was die cut using Simon's white wood grain card stock & foam mounted for some added dimension before assembling my sentiment onto my card & adding a few of Simon's Assorted Moonshine sequins to finish.
