Tim Holtz/Ranger - New Distress Spritz Colours

Hello my friends, if you've just been watching the Tim Holtz Holiday Hoopla over on Tim's YouTube Channel, you'll know that 12 new colours of Distress Spritz have joined the Tim Holtz/Ranger Distress family. But first things first, time to make some swatches.

Then I had great fun going all out with the Distress Spritz shimmer to make 3 Christmas cards using Distress Black HeavyStock, Tim Holtz/Sizzix Stacked Tiles Circles, Triangles, Squares and Rectangles Thinlits, the words from Vault Christmas Classic and Swirling Stars Thinlits.

I trimmed Distress Black HeavyStock to create 3 - 4" x 5.1/4" panels. I spritzed Hickory Smoke Distress Spritz on the panel and on a scrap of Distress Watercolor card. I trimmed out a snowbank and die-cut the word Peace using the Tim Holtz/Sizzix Vault Holiday Classic Thinlits and stars from Tim Holtz/Sizzix Swirling Stars. I spritzed Distress Watercolor card with Rustic Wilderness Distress Spritz and die-cut using Tim Holtz/Sizzix Stacked Tile Triangles Thinlits. I stacked the triangles to create trees, wrapped with gold thread and added tree trunks from Distress Watercolor card coloured with Frayed Burlap Distress Spritz.

I fixed the snowbank in place with Distress Collage Medium, added the trees popped up on 3D foam squares, die-cut the word Peace again from Distress Black HeavyStock, layered slightly offset and fixed in place with Distress Collage Medium. To finish I sprinkled with Stampendous Frantage Chunky White Embossing Enamel to create a snow effect and heat set from underneath.

I repeated the process on the second panel, using Salvaged Patina Distress Spritz on the background and Villainous Potion and Broken China Distress Spritz for the stars, word and baubles die-cut using Tim Holtz/Sizzix Stacked Tiles Circles Thinlits.

I used Squeezed Lemonade Distress Spritz for the word and stars and Lumberjack Plaid and Faded Jeans Distress Spritz for the parcels die-cut using Tim Holtz/Sizzix Stacked Tiles Squares and Rectangles Thinlits.

Have fun with whatever you are making.
