Tim Holtz Newly Released Embossing Folders

Here are my latest card creations using Tim Holtz embossing folders, Tim Holtz distressed inks and Tim Holtz ink blending tool. Then I added some ribbons, bottons, and twines as embellishments. The goal is to showcase Tim Holtz embossing folders designs without too many elements.

Coloring with Tim Holtz Distressed Inks

Lately, I've been exploring different ways to color images. I've tried both inkpads and reinkers. I tried using SU aquapainter or just plain paint brush. I tried using water and without water while coloring and finally I get the result that I want. Let me show it to you and will let you be the judge... By the way, I like painting the images using plain paint brushes, using reinkers (colors are much vibrant) and no water.
