July 2020 Altnew Inspiration Challenge #2

This is my second entry for  the July Inspiration Challenge.

I have been a Tim Holtz Addict for a long time.  One of my most memorable classes was about 20 years ago in Cincinnati.  It was early on a Sunday morning at my favorite stamp store.  Tim taught a class with us making the usual set of tags each representing a different technique with his products.

He had a great sense of humor, was patient and helped us become more comfortable with mixed media.

This summer I have watched every moment of Tim’s Saturday morning video s as he showed hundreds of ways to use his many products.Texture paste has always been a favorite of mine.

Here I used several of the ideas Tim Shared over the past few months:

Texture Paste used with a stencil.  Here I used Altenew’s Wavy Grid Stencil.

While it was wet I finely sprinkled some Embossing Glaze.  When the paste dried, I heat set the glaze.

I die cut Hanging Garden in brown and seafoam cardstock.  I also die cut it from Yuppo paper that had been covered with alcohol inks and Aloy inks.

I inset the Yuppo paper into the openings of the brown carsick Hanging Garden.  I used metallic gold cardstock for the berries.

I die cut Believe three times from water color paper and stacked them.

Finally I splattered white and gold on the card front.

I wanted to add some gems but thought it might be too much.

It will be a none traditional holiday card for someone special.
