Todays theme for Christmas in July was very much out of my comfort zone and I challenged myself even more by using a paper I wasn’t exactly keen on!

But I love the final result. Some inking, some foiling and then those fun Tim Holtz paper dolls.
The foiling is a spellbinders glimmer plate and I thought it worked with the theme!

I am really pleased with the fact I remembered to grab some ribbon before I stuck layers down too as it added a nice bit of texture.

I also added in the glitter gems for the final embellishment. Inside the card I grabbed some of the leftover paper and some ink to finish off. The sentiments are stickers from Tim Holtz and they work perfectly with the vintage theme!

Happy crafting!

That’s a beauty! You definitely transformed all those stash pieces you don’t like so much!
Thank you – really wasn’t keen on them at the beginning – amazing what a bit of ink can add!
