December

 Hi everyone. Didn't I just write a post that welcomed November? Well, as you know November has come and gone, and now it is already December 1. And already it is the last month of 2022.

Thank you Bleubeard and Elizabeth for hosting last month at Art Journal Journey. And thank you to everyone who shared their collages and their food related posts. I must say I picked up a few collage ideas that I hadn't thought of before, and it was a fun month.

December should also be a fun month at Art Journal Journey. This month I want to welcome Jo, who you might also know as Let's Art Journal. Jo's theme for December is:

Snowy Winter

Here's my first journal page for the month.

You might possibly recognize the tag in the center. I recently made it for Tag Tuesday. Since I liked it and  it worked  for a snowy winter theme, I decided to recycle it into the centerpiece of my page.

My background started as watercolor paper that I used a musical note stencil and some light molding paste on. When that dried, I added some turquoise blue paint spray. I wanted to leave some white spots to represent the snow for Jo's theme.

Both the swirls on the upper left corner and the tree in the bottom right were stamped onto a sheet of acetate. I then cut them out and glued them down onto my page. I used a bit of Dr. Ph. Martin's bleedproof white ink on the tree to give it a freshly fallen snow feel.

To finish off my page I added a vintage Victorian white owl to the tree and added the silver bells to the upper left corner of the tag centerpiece.  

And here's a reminder of the dreaded rules at Art Journal Journey. We accept only art journaling. Cards, tags (unless they are part of a journal page), ATC's and other forms of art are not accepted. However, any form of art journaling is accepted. It could be collage art, drawn, painted, sewed, digitally made; I am sure I have forgotten something, but just make it a journal page.

This challenge runs for the whole month of December.

Thanks for stopping by our challenge, and I know you'll have some fun making some snowy winter art journal pages, especially since snowy winter and Christmas do go together well. 

I am also linking up this post to Rain's Art and Dinner Date as her challenge is bells, and I just happen to have some on this page.

And thanks for stopping by my blog also.
