tim holtz holiday inspiration series: christmas cheer

I'm so excited to be joining a group of talented crafters sharing holiday projects with you during the month of November and beginning of December using all the latest holiday stamps and products from Tim Holtz!  All the projects will be showcasing products from the new Holiday Season release. If you have not seen everything that has come out this season you can watch all of the Facebook Live product release videos HERE and just in case you miss any of the projects Tim will be sharing a weekly recap each Saturday over on his Blog. Today I have a card featuring three stamp sets: 

This was a fun and simple card to make. I stamped the word Christmas and embossed it with gold embossing powder, then stamped the word cheer in Jet Black Archival Ink. To create the snowflakes I used Distress Paints in Tarnished Brass, Brushed Pewter and Antique Bronze to create my snowflakes in different colors. It is super easy to "ink" up your stamps with paint using a foam blending tool. Be sure to clean your stamps off right away when you are done! 

 To finish off the card, I added a few of the Idea-ology Fluted stars, which I also painted with the same colors of paint.
