Tim Holtz | Mixed Media Holiday Card

Hello! Today, I am sharing a mixed-media holiday card created with a variety of Tim Holtz supplies.

  • For the card background, I cut textured green cardstock from the Botanical pack and added it to an A2 card base.
  • I stamped the Tiny Text Christmas sentiment on light-green cardstock, also from the Botanical pack.
  • I added Snowfall Distress Grit Paste through the Pinecones stencil on to the sentiment panel (masking the sentiment area before the application). Once dry, I trimmed the panel, matted it with Brushed Gold cardstock, and added it to the card base.
  • To create the alcohol ink background paper for the bird, I read this blog post by Stacy Hutchinson and watched the video contained in this blog post by Tim Holtz. I used Gold Mixative, Mineral Pearls, and Sienna alcohol inks as that is what I had on hand.
  • Once the alcohol ink background was dry, I cut the bird with a die in the Silhouette Birds set.
  • I cut the bough from the darker shade of textured green cardstock using a die in the Mini Holiday Greens set. I added Snowball Distress Grit Paste to the pine needles and sprinkled on Dry Glitter – Clear Rock Candy.
  • I added the bird and bough to the card and embellished with Gold Mix Gems.

  1. WOW! Love that bird and there will never be another! Nice to use white for the pinecone stencil which gives it a great look. Great card! I found the instructions on that blog interesting, thanks!
