Easy Mixed Media Techniques With Tim Holtz Ice Flake Bigz Die and Embossing Powders

Hello and welcome to a new year at Sarascloset! I'm starting the New Year off with a step by step post at Frilly and Funkie, where I'm sharing some easy mixed media techniques featuring Tim Holtz Bigz Ice Flake die and embossing powders. Here's some photos, but I hope you have some time to visit Frilly and Funkie for the tutorial.

  1. Couldn't wait to see what you had created with this versatile die Sara and I am not disappointed (as if I ever am..!!) Stunning way to use product and showcase just how versatile that snowflake is and it was that very reason why I just had to have it in my collection. I know it will be well loved for years to come.
    Thank you for sharing the sweetest of Trio's.. I've been over for a closer peep.

  3. I just read your tutorial over at Frilly and Funkie. Like I commented there, all I can say is "wow"! I also bought this die and never got around to using it for Christmas due to unforeseen circumstances; however, there is the rest of winter yet to use it. I love snowflakes and am really taken by how you created each card. Happy New Year, my friend. Thank you for your encouraging words as well.
