I literally had no idea where I was going with this card or even what products I was going to use as I'm sure like most crafters I have a huge supply of Tim Holtz products.
I began by heat embossing Simon Says Stamps Merry Christmas sentiment stamp and some snowflakes from Christmas Cheer stamp set. I then blended Picked Raspberry, Victorian Velvet & Spun Sugar Distress Inks over my background & added some splashes of water, Distress Inks & gouache over it.
I created a larger background on white card stock by stenciling some stars on it using texture paste & then I decided it was much too plain & just didn't look right so then added embellishments, lots of embellishments!
On today's card I am featuring my favourite paper crafting tools by Tim Holtz, the Guillotine Confort Paper Trimmer & Scissors. I have 3 sizes of the scissors, 9.5", 7" & the 5" mini snips and use these all the time for pretty much everything I need scissors for.

ReplyDeleteWow your card is wonderful the background splashes is gorgeous so effective as is your floral image x
ReplyDeleteI love this card. I must ask if the poinsettias were die cut using vellum or design papers. Just gorgeous wintry feel. xxx
ReplyDeleteI love the colourway you chose, so unique for the season but magnificent in design. A beautiful and delicate creation, thank you for sharing.
