Hello! I finally had a chance to break out my Christmas goodies and get started on some Christmas cards. Thankfully, Tim Holtz shared some of his Holiday Hacks, so the rest of my holiday crafting might go a little faster.
I used my lifted image on Distress watercolor cardstock, which I then colored with Distress Oxides --Festive Berries, Iced Spruce and Pumice Stone and Vintage Photo Distress ink. I die cut it with Mixed Media Christmas Thinlits.
I love the Winter Watercolor stamps Tim released this season. I inked the smallest of the poinsettias in Festive Berries oxide, spritzed the stamp with water and made a several impressions. I fussy cut them, shaped and layered them up. The centers were inked with Crushed Olive, and I scribbled the edges with Tarnished Brass Distress Crayon.
I love the new faces in the Christmas Paper Dolls pack, even though I still have plenty left from last year's pack. These two children look like they're dressed up to do some Christmas shopping at the toy store, perhaps followed by a visit to Santa.
So that's the start of my Christmas crafting! I hope you'll stop back tomorrow when I will be sharing a Christmas gift using more of Tim's wonderful products. How are you coming along with your Christmas to do list?
Happy Crafting!
