Harvey and Me

 

Anybody else head over heels with Tim Holtz' newest release? Love, love love, 

Harvey. He's a sweet, petite soldier guy, you can colorize any way you like. And

I like! So much do I like Harvey, I did 3 cards, and plan to do more.

Harvey can be dressed and festooned, with or without eyes and a mustache, boots, gold, boots,

any color, and anything else you want to add. 

Harvey no. 1 is dressed in bright red. And I borrowed the idea of putting him in front of

TH's iron gates, from one of the TH designers, which are really for Halloween, but are so 

darn clever I couldn't resist.

The background, ah yes, the background. Well, I don't know what it is. I found the 

embossed panel in my stash, rubbed pine oxide ink over it, then lightly rubbed copper

paste over the lifted images.

The banner is a combo of TH Deck the Halls and a leftover banner from the

Greetery (Joy to the World?)

Card 2, features Harvey on a swag built with dies from Holiday Brushstroke 3.

All over Tree Rings EF. Let me just say, this panel started off white. Then rubbed 

with Oxide Inks until I was happy.  

Be Merry: The Greetery

Harvey no. 3 took me the longest. I don't know, every thing I did just didn't

see to come together. I was finally happy with this version. 

Here's the recipe:

Background: TH Layered Plaid, which is 3 dies

Oval: Memory Box

Background in pink: TH Pine Branches

Harvey

Candy Cane & Presents: TH Santa's Helper

and Tree: Twig & Stump
