Winter Wonderland- My 2 Crafty Creations

Winter is my least favourite season but I did love scrapping about it.
 
Today its officially the first day of winter and we are off to seek warmer places!!
If I'm absent from your blogs please don't fret!! I will be back in the new year to leave you all some love!!
 
"Snow Wonderful"
 

I used the Crazy Circles 12x12 sheet and I cut it in half. I used the opened circles as frames for these small wintery pictures. First I covered the chipboard in gesso and then I dabbed clear distress stickles and yellow stickles randomly on the circles



Crazy Circles (unit of 3)


I also used chipboard snowflakes which I also covered in Gesso and distress stickles.


Snowflakes (units of 3)

Finally for the title I used the word Wonderful and called my layout Snow Wonderful!!

I used the Prima BAP sketch as an inspiration for this layout.

I used the Prima BAP for this layout


Materials used:
Prima papers
2 Crafty chipboard
Flowers: Prima
clear stickles
yellow stickles
gesso
Martha Stewart Textured paste
Crafter's workshop 6x6 template
Ranger acrylic paint: yellow
Prima fluid chalk worn jeans
Prima resin bird
Prima alphas



My second layout is titled:

"Peaceful"

I took this serene photo outside the woods near my house. Those are the same woods from my fall pictures a few months back.

I quite like how the woods came to life in this photo.



I used the Hariet's Border underneath he photo. I simply covered it in textured paste and then dabbed it with chalk ink.

I used Heidi's Vines again for this layout. Last month I used them for a fall layout and showed you a resist technique. This time I covered the vines in gesso and then painted them with Shimmerz Paint: blueberry cobbler. It came out very smooth so I dabbed some blue distress stickles randomly on the leaves.

To get the 3D effect, I printed 2 of the same photo and used one of them as a background. I used the other photo and cut some trees out of it. Then I raised them with pop dots for a 3D effect.


Finally I used the Fine Snowflakes and the peace word from the ATC Words 1 pack. I covered the snowflakes in gesso and clear distress stickles like above and I inked the Peace word in fluid chalk ink.


I used the December sketch from Paper Stories as an inspiration for this layout.

Ha ha no wonder you thought I had flushed myself down the loo or succumbed to a tropical desease of some sorts, I've backtracked your blog to 21 December! Was deadsure I had commented on these two pages but nope, not a sign of me :((
Been waiting for Prima to return from WCHA and their reveal of the December winners. Am so sure to see your BAP up there! Fantastic take on the sketch and such beautiful colours and texture work! My fave is your second page. The combination of colours just makes my head dizzy with delight, you certainly hit the nail with them. This is amazing, absolutely amazing work! xoxoxo
