Hi guys! Thank you so much for your sweet comments on my projects for the Tim Holtz Sizzix Chapter 1 release. I had so much fun using the Faceted Hearts die for my rusty heart tag shared HERE that I decided to do another sample. For that tag I tried to mimic pieced sheet metal, then it occurred to me I could use the Mechanics 3D texture fade to cut my heart for "easy sheet metal". :) I wasn't sure how the embossed panel would die cut, or if it would flatten the embossing, but it worked beautifully since it is a padded Bigz die. I cut the 3D Mechanics from Metallic Kraft Core and colored with Distress Crayons. I should have shared this tip in the first post, but for easy assembly make sure to crease all of your score lines with a bone folder before gluing the Faceted Heart together. I layered lots of Tim Holtz ephemera/Ideaology together over a Paper Stash base. I love sanding and altering this faux ephemera, distressing the edges and adding little tears and folds to give it a more authentic look. I finished my paper doll collage with a snippet that reminds me of my own sweet boys. Oh how I love this boy image! I'm super excited about the new paper dolls and ephemera Tim is releasing.
