Hi everyone. Happy first Friday in December. I'm actually writing 2 posts for today since I received the honor of being a guest designer over at Creative Artiste Mixed Media Challenge Blog for December. Thank you ladies for having me again. It is always fun to be a part of the team for a month.
It was requested that I make a holiday page, so I decided to combine several of my favorite things about Christmas. 😏
I started by inking my ledger journal page with red ink. I added a bit of washi tape along the left side just to ground my collage items. I'm not sure where the North Pole Tracking slip came from, but I had it in my stash. I started with that, and then I added a berry branch as well as a white poinsettia "flower" from 49 and Market. I dabbed some snow on the berries and although you can't see it, I added some yellow small bead like PIMS to the center of the pointsettia. Then I die cut the Santa in his flying sleigh (Frantic Stamper die), and I added a tag that I made. On the tag I used a bit of a 49 and Market for branch and stamped the quote.
Then I used silver paper and die cut some snow flakes, and I used black paper and die cut some musical notes and staff (Cornish Heritage Farms). And since my page has snow, and since in my area we always hope for a white Christmas, I took a bit of white acrylic paint and a scrunched up paper towel to add a little dusting of it around my page.
You can use any theme for your page at Creative Artiste since their theme is always Anything Goes, but be sure to use at least 3 types of media on your page.
Once again, thank you ladies for having me join in for a month. I really appreciate your support, and I love supporting you back also.
And since my page relates back to winter, I am also joining Sharon's Winter challenge at Art Journal Journey.
Happy December crafting and I hope everyone has time to take a break and join in at Creative Artiste. ❤
