I made the setting to represent St. Nick circa 1964. I kept to a
vintage theme in the interior of the book. The 6oish photo I had.
And thank you to Tim and Mario for the stash for the winner!

I am using a plain book I had bought at Micheal's sometime ago.
I altered the spine of the book with Tim's new Tarnished
Brass and Antiqued Bronze Distress Crackle Paint. I covered
the front and back with old time embellishing papers.
I used the same colors to alter the left side of the book on the
inside. And then painted the other side with Distress Paint Antique
Bronze. I used Distress Spray Stain Picket Fence.
I used the large Woodland Christmas tree and two of the
small. I used a light blueish spray by Recollections on the large &
two different greenish sprays on the smaller trees.

I used Tim Holtz Die Cuts, Moon and Stars, and the large SnowFlake
Die Cut. Tim Holtz Alpha Parts Ransom. Ideaology Ephemera Pack
Christmas Noel. Distress Paint Fired Brick. Stickles Dry
Glitter. Distress Embossing Powder Gold. Deer Die Cuts, Tim Holtz
Lantern, Tim's Stick Pins, Stars, Letterpress Words by Ideaology.
Sizzix Alterations Holiday Greens.  Silver Distress Paint. Tim Holtz
Ornaments. Tim Holtz Harliquin Grungeboard. Alcohol Inks,
Mod Podge My Santa is from a vintage photo I had.

Merry Christmas to all!!!

Thank you to Tim and Mario for the prize stash that will
go to the lucky winner! Challenge #16 can be found on page 50
of Tim's book Compodium of Curiosities III.

I am not allowed to say how I achieved my outcome but I followed
the instruction in Tim's book on page 50-for layering stencil & embossing.
I kept it simple and allowed the stencil embossing speak for itself!
After many attempts I was happy with this tag!
Happy Holidays to one and all! The deer is from Tim's latest die cut,
and I used wood paper I had from a long time ago to die cut him with.

Thanks for stopping by,

Jan
