Janine loved working with these Tim Holtz papers and embellishments. She chose to create a layered background and then add some messy paint over the top of the blue paper for added interest. Then she proceeded to layer circles and die cut grungeboard. Janine ran the grungeboard through her sizzix machine using a Tim Holtz embossing folder and then ran it through again using the Tim Holtz Gears Die and Flourish die.
She then painted them with white gesso and finished them off with some iridescent medium for a shimmery effect. Janine also painted all of her Tim Holtz metals with white gesso to fit her "winter wonderland" vision. It does take a few coats for really good coverage but the results are so pretty. To finish off the winter wonderland theme, Janine used a large and small Martha Stewart snowflake punch and added a Prima flower center to the middle for even more sparkly goodness.
Leeann just couldn’t wait to get started on this project. She knew exactly what she wanted to do and had been waiting for just the right moment. So when Leeann was given this assignment to work with Tim Holtz products she screamed with delight!
When it comes to Tim Holtz the possibilities are endless there is so much you can do on the page or off. Leeann fell in love with the door knobs film strip and she just LOVES the die plates that make those fabulous paper rosettes, this was the point of inspiration for her – Paper Weights.
She put her DH to work and had him cut some blocks from timber posts. Leeann then sanded and primed each bloke with gesso. Adhered pattern papers and used a decoupage to seal all the papers. Then she simply arranged and adhere all the embellishments in place.
