Hi All

I hope you have had a lovely Easter and enjoyed the glorious weather. Here is a card I completed as a commission for a 75th birthday for a man who loves to travel.

All I can say is Tim Holtz is a genius. The paper is one of his, which I have distressed with, you guessed it, Tim Holtz Distress Inks. I then took a tag and distressed it, again with distress ink. The combination of Tea dye, Walnut Stain and Vintage Photo. These are three of my favourite colours.  The stamp is a Tim Holtz I believe, although I am not great at remembering whose are whose!

The75 is stamped onto two balsa wood tags which have been distressed as the paper tag was. I have then heat embossed the 75 in gold embossing powder and used brads to attach them to the card.

The postal mark is from an embossing folder from Papermania which has had the Tim Holtz treatment.

I was really happy with this card and so was the client.
