A Great Impression!!

Everything, "Tim Holtz", leaves a good impression as far as I am concerned, especially the Texture Fades Embossing Folders he designed with Sizzix! A lasting impression too!

The Texture Fades come in sets of two, so it's a double bonus when you purchase a set.

I used the Bricked, from the "Bricked and Woodgrain Set" for this card. The patterned paper is from the DCWV Mariposa collection. What a fabulous collection of papers!
Here are a couple close up shots of the embossed patterned paper. You can see the brick and mortar design clearly.

A touch of May Art ribbon, some feathers and a twist of wire behind the bow!

I used a Stampin' Up sentiment on a scrap piece of Mariposa paper, cut it out with my favorite Spellbinder Oval Die and matted it with a piece of gold metallic paper cut with the Spellbinder Scalloped Oval Die. The two butterflies are cut from the Mariposa papers too!

Tim Holtz Textured Fades and Spellbinder Dies are available in the Cropstop store. Don't forget to grab the discount code from the blog sidebar before making your purchase in the store!
