Birthday Card for Tim Holtz

Happy New Year everyone, I hope 2013 brings you all happiness, love, laughter and good health.Today is a hot one in Melbourne, Australia and it is hard to imagine how cold it must be in the Northern Hemisphere. After looking at all the beautiful snow pictures taken by the crafters I follow on Twitter, it must be freezing!! This card is one I have made to celebrate the amazing Mr T's birthday. (Holtz that is).The inspirational  crafter/photographer @Linda Ledbetter  from @ www.studioL3.com  has offered a challenge in her finale of the Compendium of Curiositiesn Challenge, to make Tim a card for his Birthday on 7th January, with the chance to win an autographed rare apron. My card tells the story of an amazing man who inspires everyone to journey into their own creativity. The umbrella man in my eyes is Tim. Particularly after his visit to Melbourne in 2012 when he was snapped by the one and only Mario Rossi walking down a rainy Melbourne street carry his black umbrella.
I have used mostly Tim Holtz and Ranger products except for the "Happy Birthday" stamp and various cardstock and paper. Hope you like it
