Tim Holtz inspired Pocket Letter

It has been a while since I have done anything that I can share. But I finally finished a Tim Holtz inspired pocket letter that I am mailing out today. The idea totally came from Vicky Papaioannou's YouTube channel. She is a very talented lady and when I seen the art journal page she did like this I had to try it. I want to eventually make me a canvas version to hang up so this was a good first run.


I really enjoyed making this. I made the background paper, the leaves, and the pumpkins.  I used the following Tim Holtz products:

Distress Stains:
Walnut Stain
Antiqued Bronze
Tarnished Brass
Distress Inks:
Walnut Ink
Aged Mahogany
Fired Brick
Spiced Marmalade
Forest Moss
Mustard Seed
Tim Holtz Collection Stencil: Dots
Adage Tickets
Mini Paper Clips
Crackle Medium

I hand drew the pumpkins and cut them out and I used gelatos to color them in. I used a baby wipe to blend the colors.

Hope you enjoyed it. Until next time Happy Scrapping!
