Birthday Card for Tim Holtz

Hello, all!
Today I have a special card for you. It’s a birthday card for Tim Holtz! Technically, his birthday was yesterday. Since I’ll be in California at CHA this weekend, I’ll be able to hand deliver his birthday card!
I wanted to do a bit of “Tim Holtz style” for this card, so I used four Distress Ink colors that make me think of Tim: Antique Linen, Frayed Burlap, Walnut Stain, and Black Soot. Doesn’t this color combo look like one Tim would use? :)
After creating the backgrounds on watercolor paper, I die cut them using the Mini Hearts Movers and Shapers dies from Tim’s Sizzix line of dies. I then arranged them on the front of the card and stamped and embossed a small greeting from the Birthday Balloons stamp set on one of the hearts.
I also added gold embossing powder to the outside edge of the card, as well as the edge of the black heart.
I hope Tim loves it! Happy birthday, Tim!
