Hello my crafty friends! Today I wanted to share with you guys the new Tim Holtz distress mica stains the Halloween and Christmas line. When I received my order I had to jump right in, create and play with theses beautiful colors. I list everything down bellow.

Happy Halloween Cards
Loving the shimmer in all four of theses cards using the new Tim Holtz distress mica stains. All colors are vibrant and beautiful.
I stated out by spaying everything on Strathmore mixed media vellum surface watercolor paper #184. I let it dry over night.
All the colors I used are Tim Holtz distress mica stains jack-o- lantern, peppermint-sticks, flickering candle, holly branch and crooked broomstick. Also Tim holtz spray stain ground espresso for the funky wreaths.
The next day I took everything and dripped some water on it and tap dry with a paper towel.
Started cutting everything out at once using Tim Hotlz Leaf Fragment #66559, Fall Foliage #660955, Funky wreaths #664434 and Happy Halloween #561263 thinlits.
After I cut out everything I took Tim Holtz 3-D texture Fades Foilage #665252 and ran it threw my vagabond2 to create the veins in the leaves.
Then used the other 3-D texture fade called Lumber #662718 with the pumpkins I cut out from the Sizzix die Pumpkine #2 and my background cardstock which is Elizabeth craft design through the lens wood series cardstock.
Here’s a picture of all products used for theses cards.
