Tag-2 Harvey

 

Have you met Harvey? He's the tiny soldier new to the Tim Holtz Christmas 

release for 2022,  and he's won my heart!

The holidays bring together a group of friends that have met for years to

celebrate a tradition called 'Favorite Things'. There are 8 of us, and we eat, 

drink and are merry in December with gifts that are special to us that we 

share.

Because my 'Favorite Things' include anything paper, I created a set of 25 holiday

tags for each friend. Harvey was die cut and assembled 8 times in his holiday

best, and stands at attention on a white splattered MFT tag.

He's double tagged for names to and from.

The greenery is from an older Tim Holtz set, and dipped in paste before 

sprinkling with snow glitter.

and that's tag 2. If you come back tomorrow, you can see another tag

created for my gal pals. 

Happy Christmas time!

 

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
