More Tim Holtz Seasonal Distress Inks!

Hello, all! Kristina here. :)

I'm back with another video featuring the Tim Holtz Winter Seasonal Distress Inks. Seriously, the more I use Iced Spruce, the more I love it! It's such a nice soft green-gray (only a touch of green in real life--it looks like a cool gray to me). That's why I used it for the background on this card with the Hero Arts Holiday Background stamp. :)

Anyhow, enjoy!

Guess what! We have an extra Holiday Background Hero Arts stamp for a lucky stamper! Comment below your favorite color in the Tim Holtz Winter Ink Series and you could win this awesome stamp! The winner will be announced tomorrow.

    Hi SSS and Kristina, I am so loving the combo of you two, hurray! I have the winter seasonal set at home and I think by a close margin I like iced spruce best, but that red is seriously awesome too, I am such a sucker for reds. The green is also good. I am newish to distress and I am loving the seasnal kits.

    I really like the evergreen bough, but really all three colors are fabulous, and red is my most favorite color, so I can't pick just one...good thing they come in a three pack!!

    I think I like the Festive Berries best - or it could be Evergreen Bough . . . or maybe Iced Spruce . . . !!!! So hard to choose, they are all such great shades, I'll have to think about it some more ;-)

    Spectacular card Kristina! Thanks for the great video. I always find your instructions so clear and easy to follow. I really do love all of the colours in the Winter Distress Inks, but I'm very partial to the Evergreen Bough. I'm a sucker for blue-green shades.

    LOVE LOVE LOVE the card Kristina.... it's so elegant.

    As for my favourite Limited Edition Christmas colour, I'd have to go with evergreen bough. It's just so gorgeous making trees with it.

    SUCH a pretty card. I love the look of the wreath, almost looks like its floating. Kristina always amazes me. I think my favorite color of the trio is the red, which is weird cause I'm not typically a fan of red.

    Congratulations on your new position Kristina. You and SSS will be awesome together. Love your card. Am awaiting an order from SSS with the new Tim Holtz seasonal inks. Should be here by the end of the week. These new colors are so cool. Can't wait to play. I really like the festive berries. True Christmas color for sure.

    I love all three colors but my fav is the Iced Spruce one because it's a very versatile color that can be use in different projects not just in Holiday ones.

  32. slbt17November 17, 2011 at 10:16 PM

    I love all the colors together, but I think Evergreen Bough is my favorite. I am amazed at the detail cuts the Silhouette can make - really cool!
    Thanks for the inspiration ... as usual.

    This card is so pretty. Nice use of the iced spruce. Before I got my seasonal inks I thought I was going to like Evergreen Bough the best, but I have to admit I've been using the Festive Berries like crazy! So I think I'll have to pick that as my fave. =)

    I like the colour iced spruce in the collection. Just wondering when you use the ink pad on the paper directly does it make the ink pads life shorter?

    Hi Kristina,

    You certainly have done your share of Christmas cards this year! You amaze me with all of your fresh ideas, no matter how many you do! Back to the ink...I love the red, but the spruce is great, too. It's a toss-up! (How's that for being decisive?)
