My project:


I have been working on this project for over a month. I am not sure I can even describe all the things I did for this project.  I started with a Tim Holtz configurations box.  I used a great deal of Tim Holtz product on this project. I tried to dye the tree with TH stains and it was quite messy and I wasn't getting the coverage I wanted.  I ended up spraying with Ditto green spray ink, that gave great coverage.  I sprayed it on a mat then rolled it in the excess left on the mat, still messy but better coverage.




I cut the topper from a piece of TH paper with a Spellbinders label and distressed a doily with Quick Quotes Powder Puff chalking ink in latte and biscotti. The pins are from Little Yellow Bicycle and Jenni Bowlin.





I painted the stripes on the candy cane charms in the jar and tied them with metallic floss.  I also used metallic floss around the wood spool to add some festive spirit.  I used alcohol inks on the metal poinsettias and leaves.



I burned several pieces of acetate making the stained glass looking transparencies.  I love the way the argyle one turned out.
