Day 11

Happy 11th day of Christmas!!!! I have a fun project for you today!!!! I follow Ellen Hutson's Blog and she posted a wonderful project that I knew I just had to make for myself!!!! I decided to use The Girl's Paperie Tinsel and Twig papers and some of Tim Holtz techniques and I also wanted to throw in some Papertrey Ink goodies and this is what I came up with!

Vintage Family Christmas

Supplies Used:

7 Gypsies Shadowbox Tray

The Girl's Paperie Tinsel and Twig Patterned Paper

Bazzill Cardstock

PTI Rustic White Cardstock

Tim Holtz Grunge Paper

Tim Holt Grungeboard Alphabet

Tim Holtz Ideology

Tim Holtz Stamps: Tree, Grand Tree, Postcard, December Calendar

Tim Holtz Dies: Paper Rosette, Reindeer Flight, and Tattered Florals

Tim Holtz Inks: Barn Door and Brushed Corduroy

Papertrey Ink Stamps: Vintage Ornaments and 2010 Holiday Tags

PTI Ink: Pure Poppy

PTI Buttons and Twine

K and Company Chipbox

Graphic 45 Christmas Past Tags

Webster's Pages Green Bloomers

Read Lead Paperworks Stamps Vintage Worn Dot

Crate Paper Chipboard Frame

Martha Stewart Glitter

Making Memories Paint Manila

Jenni Bowlin Peal Flowers

Copic Marker: Y32 Cashmere

Red Lead Paperworks Bells

I used Tim Holtz Paper Rosette Die to make the accordian medallions. I painted the alphas with Manila paint and coated them with Glitter.
I found an old box of K and Company Vintage Chipboard pieced and they went perfectly with this project!
I cut out 6 red Tattered Florals and 3 green Tattered Florals. I stamped the red flowers with the Vintage Dot stamp inked in Pure Poppy Ink and inked all the edges with Brushed Corduroy. I I layered 2 red florals and 1 green floral per flower. I added a Jenni Bowlin Pearl Flower that I colored with a Cashmere Copic Marker.
I put together a fun little Tim Holtz Ideology Chain and I covered a Graphic 45 Tag with Tim Holtz Fragment by spreading some Glossy Accents on the tag.

I cut out the Reindeer and I inked and embellished them with some PTI Twine and some Bells I found at Read Lead Paperworks. I added some Webster's Pages Bloomers and some rusty snowflakes from my stash.

This was such a fun project and I thank Ellen Hutson for the inspiration!!!

Thanks for stopping by and I will see you tomorrow for the final day of the 12 days of Christmas!!!
