With the
arrival of the latest Tim Holtz releases who can resist them? Not me! I found a
lovely piece of backing paper in my treasure chest with warm oranges and greens
and decided to use it for my airmail tableau. The key components are the new
Tim Holtz (On the edge) Torn
notepad die, the AirmailTexture fade, Minifilmstrip decorative strip die and the MarianneCreatables butterfly die.
You can see
that I’ve highlighted some of the texture fade elements with gold foil to add
something extra to the texture. This could as easily be glitter or metallic
paint.
The
shopping list element makes use of both sides of the Torn notepad die with the
butterfly to add colour and substance.
The Torn
notepad die is used again for the faux letter with the mini film strip adding a
border and contrast colour to the left.
Each one of
these dies could be made into the central feature of a card on its own but it
is so much more fun when you can combine the different elements together.
Choose whatever colour theme and backing paper you want and have a go yourself
to see just how easy it is to make.
fab card - I love what you have done with the foil - I think I might try that as have some of this from kanban for years and not used it more than once but this is such a clever way to highlight embossing.
ReplyDeleteI love the new torn notebook die! Can't wait for you to get the other dies in :)
ReplyDeleteGreat piece Chris, fabulous embossed background and foiling. Gonna have to have some torn note-book methinks.
