Merry - Tim Holtz Holiday Classics

 I had some fun creating with the Tim Holtz Classic Holiday release. Tim and Sizzix have brought back some beloved classic holiday dies and I couldn't be happier. There were several that I didn't have in my collection and I was beyond pleased to get them. Others I have create with before and enjoyed looking at them a little differently this time, and that included this handsome, confident moose!

I began by embozzing a piece of Distress Watercolor Cardstock that had been sprayed with water and a bit of Pumice Stone Distress Stain, then embossed it with the Large 3D Kaleidoscope Texture Fade. I used the debossed or back side as I thought they looked kinds of like icy crystal shapes. 

 

The drops are called Metallic Droplets and were part of the Idea-ology Halloween line a few times.  

Look at that tree. It's such a great tree! I do messy stitching on my machine and I love the texture it adds.

 Look at how stately that moose is! I just love his jaunty air!

 

The metallic stamped background is a technique I have done many times over the years. You can see a tutorial here:  Special Delivery and see the one I used on this card that I made back in 2018 Dapper Gents.

 

I kept the sentimentsimple cutting the word Merry from the Merry and Bright die set, out of Distress Black Heavystock.

 The back side of Kaleidoscope is just a scool as the front!

 

Behind the stamped piece I added some woodgrain paper I had from an older Idea-ology Christmas release. You just need a little bit. 

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by! I hope you found something to inspire an idea for your own projects.

I'm wishing you a very creative day!
