Christmas !

Hello everyone,

and welcome to the new Challenge over at Country View Challenges. The theme this month is Christmas with optional green, red and rust. I am a very non-traditional person and I am also not all that keen on Christmas so I made an art journal page in non traditional colours with some traditional elements.

And here is how I made it.. 

I started with a piece of Pattern Paper by Basic Gray; I had this for years and I am not even sure whether Basic Gray even exists anymore. Anyway it is a warmish grey/green. 

I used a snowflake stamp by Stampendous with VersaMark and WOW Embossing powder 'Atlantic Seaspray'. It is a light blue with gold in it... very pretty. 

Here is the result... 

Next I stamped the snowman. He is old too and by Gorjuss; Odd because I really do not like Gorjuss stamps usually but I thought this snowman was cute!  I made him sit on a snowbank by added some doodles with a black Copic friendly pen. I then coloured him with my Copic Markers and cut him out. 

I tried to make him look somewhat dirty... 

Here's a closer look ! 

Next I stamped the sentiment, which is by PaperArtsy,  on white card stock and used the same blue Copics as I used on the snowman's shawl to colour the word strips. 

And here is the finished result. I did add some white pen around the words and some white splatters with a paint pen.. 

Here you see the gold in the embossing powder ... so pretty ! 

Anyway, we hope you will play along with our Challenge. You could win a GBP20 voucher to the shop. Just make sure to read the rules first. You'll find them HERE.
