A Tribute to Tim Holtz - 12 Cards of Christmas - Card 7

Back to last year's tags and this card is based on Tag 7 from 2010. I'm getting through cat food boxes quicker than the cat now - but it's a great, free alternative to grungepaper for those of us who don't have deep pockets :-)

"12 Cards of Christmas - Card 7"

For the background, an A6 piece of card was embossed with a wood embossing folder and distressed with inks before coating in a smear of clear, holographic glitter glue (I just used my fingers for this - keep some kitchen roll handy to clean your hands).

Sheets of white pearlised card were attached to cat food box card with PVA, then coloured with distress inks, sanded, coloured again & embossed with a mesh embossing folder. A red sheet was die-cut with the Tattered Florals die, and the green leaves were cut with a pair of scissors (hopefully I'll be getting the Tattered Leaves die for Christmas :)). The petals were cut out and shaped, then individually stuck to the background with Pinflair dimensional glue. An old pearly button was used to make the centre of the flower.

"25 Cameo"

A "25" was cut from "Lost and Found" papers then cut to size and stuck to a cheap, Chinese cameo blank using glossy accents. Glossy accents was poured on top to provide a clear bubble coating.

"Joyful"

The lettering was die-cut from cat food box, coloured with distress inks, and stamped with a script stamp using Archival ink before sticking to the background.
