Christmas ATC inspired by Tim's 2007 Day 1 Tag

 I had so much fun following along with Tim Holtz's 12 Days of Christmas this year, I'm going back to try the techniques and products from the other years. I'm starting at the beginning 2007 Tag 1. I won't get them all done this season, but will do what I can get to.
Tim used old paper and fired brick Distress Crackle Paints. I don't have those colors, so I improvised and it seem to work. Painted a grunge board "S" with red pepper acrylic paint and when it dried coated it with fired brick Distress ink, let dry, the painted on a thick layer of rock candy Distress Crackle paint and let it dry. Colored part of a card with old paper Distress Ink, heat set, then painted on a thick layer of rock candy Distress Crackle paint and let it dry.

Once the crackle paint dried, colored rest of card with assorted Distress Inks with a blending tool and let dry.

 Used distress tool to rough up the edges and colored the edges with walnut stain Distress Ink. Stamped a Santa image with black Distress Ink. As in Tim's tag, where the image is stamped over the crackle paint, it appears more faded.

 Used the walnut stain Distress Ink over the crackle paint on the "S". Added paper with music score (colored with vintage photo Distress Ink) and piece of paper with the number 25 and some red ribbon with a small buckle.
