Tim Holtz/Sizzix: Merry Santa

For this project, I used the new Tim Holtz/Sizzix Santa Greetings die set. I die-cut the pieces for Santa with Distress Watercolor Cardstock. I then watercolored the pieces with Distress Watercolor Pencils and adhered them together with Distress Collage Medium. I used some gold sparkle cardstock for the belt buckle.

I die-cut the letters for “MERRY” several times from white cardstock, and once from gold sparkle cardstock. I stacked them together with Distress Collage Medium and threaded the piece of paper for the string through the letters. I used an older idea-ology structure for the base of my project. I whitewashed the wood with Picket Fence Distress Paint and a dry paintbrush. I then colored some Idea-o-logy Baubles with alcohol ink.

I glued the baubles into the top of the structure, and while the Distress Collage Medium was still wet, I sprinkled Distress Rock Candy Glitter to add a little sparkle. I then colored an Idea-ology bottle brush tree with Distress Spray Stain and then dusted the tips of the tree with Distress Collage Medium, and sprinkled Distress Rock Candy on the tree.

I then added the tree into the structure, and Santa as well. I added some Distress Grit Paste Snow Fall to the structure with a palette knife.

I had so much fun creating this project and I hope they have inspired you, and maybe it has “jennabled” you a bit to go shopping! I will be back soon with even more ideas!
