I love these new dies from Tim Holtz.  They are one of my favorites!

This week’s theme is Dry Embossing, so the new Texture Fades was just perfect for the theme! I used the Ranger Metal foil tape sheet to cover a piece of heavy cardstock. I did what Tim Holtz taught us (spritz couple of time with water and pass the folder through the sizzix machine for tre times) let the paper dry a little then I used Distress Paint to highlight the embossed part.
Oh man, the details on this embossing folder is out of this world!

For the background I used a bunch of textures and I again used distress paint with a sponge to add color, then I scrape the color off with a cloth. I then used the Distress Mica Spray to add this gorgeous violet color and distressed the edge of the tag with Distress Ink. I die cut the other pieces of the dies and i colore it with black and highlighted some parts with the Distress Mica Spray. I covered the pieces with Ultra Thick Embossing Powder to make this enamel effect.

I also used the embossing folder to cut the Coulderon.
