Free to Fly With 3D Embossing

Hi! I've had a little more time to play with my Tim Holtz Lumber 3D Texture Fade yesterday. And I experimented with my Laurel 3D Impresslits embossing folder for the first time. How I love these 3 dimensional miracles, and they couldn't be more on trend! 

I used Distress Crazing Collage Medium, Distress paint, Oxide, and crayons along with the Lumber Folder to make my 'bark' background. If you missed my post on how to create faux barn wood using this embossing folder and similar supplies, you can check out my tutorial here.

I cut and embossed black card with the Lauren Impresslit and used one embossed side up and the other de-bossed side up. I colored them with Brushed Pewter Distress Spray stain, then applied a thin layer of Crazing, followed by Picket Fence crayon. I layered them over another pair of Laurels cut/embossed from white card blended with Frayed Burlap Distress ink.

 The butterfly is from the Botanical Layers pack, and I colored it with a splatter of gesso, a spritz of Brushed Pewter stain, followed by Antique Linen Distress Oxide. I edged with Frayed Burlap crayon.

I made a frame using Stitched Ovals Thinlits dies. I smudged on Picket Fence crayon and spritzed with Brushed Pewter. Again, I applied a thin layer of Crazing, and when dry, smudged with Black Soot crayon. I did the same thing to the black backing card.

I finished off with a Quotations Metallic Sticker blended with Frayed Burlap ink. I hope you enjoyed my mix of 'metal and wood'. Thank you for stopping by!

Hugs and Blessings!

I Believe It's Time For Some Christmas!

Welcome! I'm so excited to get out my Christmas crafting goodies once again! I made this tag using lots of Tim Holtz goodies so I could play along with  the current Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. It's a Christmas in July blog hop, and if you haven't yet visited each of the designer's blogs, I would highly recommend it for some amazing Christmas inspiration!

 I applied crackle paste through a Tim Holtz Mini Layering stencil. let it dry and colored with Distress stains.

The crinkle ribbon was colored with Distress stain, and the Ideaology Snowflake Adornment is dusted with Distress Grit paste.

Believe is from the Handwritten Holidays die set, and I gave it a weathered rusty look with Distress Embossing Powder in Vintage Photo and Ground Espresso Distress ink.

I love this little deer from Tim's Winter Wonderland Thinlits die set alongside the Woodlands die cut tree.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Too bad it's around 90 degrees and rainy outside!
