Hello everyone! Welcome to another Tim Holtz-mixed media card. This card was inspired by the 2021 Sizzix Christmas release last year, in particular Jan Hobbin’s card with Eugene. Like many mixed-media makes, this is not a CAS nor a fast card to make.

My card started out with using Distressed Oxide Paints to paint pour on acrylic paper. Gladys was cut out of various pinks, gold, and white. Her pupils are a liquid pearl. The snowflakes and wreath were cut out of bristol cardstock. The wreath is inked, splattered with distress oxide, and embellished with Nuvo drops. The snowflakes had glittered adhered to them with collage medium. The “ice” in the background is an embossed acetate; to glue it down, I ran the glue lines where the grout lines are in the cobblestone. This way, if the glue did not dry clear, it would give an appearance of snow between the stones. 😁 I used digital paper for the frame and inked the front of my card base with oxide to add a little more green. Enjoy!
