Laura made a card using a Tim Holtz Damask 3d Embossing Folder along with Salvaged Patina and Pine Needles Distress Inks and Paints and highlighted the raised areas with Tarnished Brass Distress Paint. She used Tonic Frosted Silver Cardstock for layering and to die cut the Alex Syberia Foxtrot sentiment

Andrea made a tag using words from one of her favorite sentiment stamp sets: Tim Holtz’s Theories. She combined that with other Tim Holtz products this week such as Photobooth images, Distress Watercolor Pencils (Set 2), Tag Collection dies, and the Media Marks 1 stamp set.

Anna-Karin made a matchbox and filled it with sentiments. She used Tim Holtz Vault Matchbox set to die cut the box and the cards for the sentiments. The butterfly was stamped with Tim Holtz Flutter and colored with alcohol inks.

Cheiron created a card using the new Tim Holtz Floristry stamp set which has so many great sentiments and coordinating Floristry dies from Simon Says Stamp. She stamped the image onto Audrey Blue cardstock and also stamped and cut her flowers that were embossed with Peacock Feathers Distress Embossing Glaze.

Kath created a simple card using one of the floral images from Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous French Garden as the focal point, coloured with Distress Watercolor Pencils. She stamped the keyboard image from Deconstructed randomly on the background and used Sign Painter to add a big and bold sentiment. 

Lols made a card using a Tim Holtz Wine Blueprints Cling Stamp Set. She colored with Distress Watercolor Pencils Set 3 and then masked the bottle and glass before using Dot Fade, Leafy and Schoolhouse Layering Stencils. She splattered with Pumice Stone Distress, Dylusions Black Marble and Lemon Zest Ink Sprays and added Snarky Small Talk Stickers, Tiny Type ’60’ Die Cuts and finished with a few Pinkfresh Studio Iridescent Color Drops.

Macarena made a whole sparkle and shine card using the lovely Tim Holtz Ranger Distress Texture Sparkle Paste on the background which gives a beautiful shine to the project. For the focal point she chose Tim Holtz Forgotten Garden stamp set and the coordinated Simon Says Stamp Forgitten Garden dies.

Maura created a card with a coffee sentiment. She used Simon Says Stamp’s Coffee Drinks stencil, Simon’s Pawsitively Saturated Mocha ink, watercolors for the background like Daniel Smith’s Permanent Orange . and topped the cups with a Prima Flowers Elegant Wings Butterfly.

Meihsia was inspired to create a mixed media tag using Tim Holtz Idea-ology Quote Chip Labels for the sentiment, and decorated it with Tim Holtz Idea-ology PAPER DOLLS PORTRAITS and Prima Marketing Wild At Heart Bohemian Heart Flowers.

Zoey used Tim Holtz French Garden stamp and Tim Holtz Sign Painter to decorate her card. She used Distress Spray Stain for her background and Distress Crayons for the details. For the sentiment she used Happy Birthday from Floristry
