Hello everyone and welcome. It's been a bit quiet here this week because I have been busy prepping and scheduling projects for the time I will be away over Christmas, (off to see my grand children in Australia, - can't wait!)
Anyway, all I have to share today are a few more mixed media Christmas cards. Sorry, not very exciting really... but here goes:
These are not all that dis similar to some
earlier ones I did, but on a slightly larger format.
The background was done with a Trimcraft paper line I found in the Range of all places, it's called Gilded Winter and has some stunning papers in it. But of course I could not leave them as they are so played around with texture paste and various sprays. For this one I used the Lathenay stencil from Memory Box, a Lindy's Stampgang Spray, as well as Bundled Sage and Walnut Stain Distress Sprays. Raised bits were dry brushed with Decoart Dazzling Metallic Luminous Gold, and Treasure Gold in White Fire.
The little snowflake in the centre is paper clay, I made it with a sugar craft mold.
I did some background stamping to add a bit more interest to the background still, the little vintage image is from Maja Design Winter Frost basics.
Instead of adding a sentiment to the outside, I did an inside page, also to show up behind the decorative edge of the card:
The wonderful sentiment stamp is from Stampendous, the snowflakes are Tim Holtz.
I did two further cards in a very similar way:
This one uses a Dyan Reaverly stencil and another image from the Maja design papers. The inside is similar too, - I have so many cards to make, I quite like doing them in a series.
And the final one in blue tones:
This photo is terrible, it gets dark here so early, I had to take it with flash, - it is so much nicer in real life.
And the inside:
Right, that's 3 more to be ticked off the list, hope you think they are ok......
Thank you for visiting like always and have a fantastic weekend.
I'll be running a children's card making workshop this Saturday. for our school Christmas Fair, so a busy day ahead....
