Hello friends!
I like adding realistic touches to my cards, especially winter holiday ones. Today I want to share such card using Papertrey Ink products and Tim Holtz Distress Holiday Texture Set. The set contains two very fun mediums pretty much essential for holiday cards – Icicle Crackle Paste and Snowfall Grit Paste.
I used the Icicle Crackle Paste to create a fun icy cracked background. First, I blended Tumbled Glass and Broken China Distress Inks onto a white panel. Then, I generously applied the paste onto the panel and put it aside to dry.
After it dried out it crackled beautifully and ideally non-ideal. I rubbed the Picket Fence Distress Crayon along the cracks to highlight them.
To make the fir frame I used the On The Border: Fir Branches Die which I die-cut out of the Paper Basics – Rustic Cream Cardstock. And then I applied the Snowfall Grit Paste onto it, setting it aside to dry as well. It added a beautiful snowy texture to the branches.
I adhered the frame onto the cracked panel and added two deers which I made using the Deer To Me Die Set and Gathered Twigs Distress Ink.
A white-on-black sentiment strip was made using a stamp from the Winter Wonder Stamp Set. Several Rainstones were added to accentuate the card.
This card was quite easy to make. Although, it took some time for pastes to dry, as you cannot use a heat gun with them. But after they dried they pretty much made the whole card and design/other elements wise it didn’t require a lot of additions.
I hope you like the card and textures created as much as I do.
Have a wonderful day!

The Icicle Crackle Paste and the Snowfall Grit paste give a amazing look to your card. Was curious if you had much trouble with the pastes causing the card panel to bend or buckle? Cool card!

Thank you, Linda! Yes, the panel warped a bit. I flatten it by adhering to thick cardboard piece using a very strong adhesive.
