Hello Creative Friends.
I'm delighted to be back as a Guest Designer over at Try it on Tuesday
and with the countdown to Christmas now on this fortnights theme is...
Here's what I created along with those How to do's..
Using a mini clipboard i'd covered in Holly collage paper and washi tape I
Stamped script and pushed paste through stencil words to add dimension.
Altering the clip with grunge paste I reattached it to the board
adding a wash of walnut stain all over the clipboard to create age.
Stash pattern papers were used to die cut, Holly, Mistletoe and Fir
branches, coloured and shaded with a combination of pens and ink.
Those die cut Holly leaves really accessorise the collage board
along with a handful of flat back pearls and dots of embossing powder.
Mistletoe, Fir branches and wire wrapped pearls are all tied
together with a little red bow adding feature to the clip.
Unloved paper stash has been die cut using the largest die from TH Stacked
Deckle set to create blank notelets/Card Toppers and Tags ready to decorate
and give as a token of appreciation or label a given gift.
Stamped, embossed and embellished, one I've painted in black Gesso
creating a changeable Chalkboard... How many more sleeps??
Many toppers amongst this pile await their Christmas card completion..
Here's a couple created using double sided sticky tape & a Holiday word die.
A dab of mica powder rids that excess sticky tape creating a *Twofer*
Two toppers, tags or notelets from one die.. Now that I like..
With a die cut December Topper embellished with left over Holly Leaves
it's created a great cover to hide all those Christmas toppers within it.
Think I just might have to create an all year round one of these..
as it would be invaluable to have a ready made card topper to hand.
Please pop on over HERE and see what the creative
TioT team have created for you this fortnight.
I'm sure you will all have some Winter Wonders to share.
Wishing you all a wonderful week and
a BIG Thank you to the TioT Gang for having me.
It's been a pleasure..
Creative Wishes
Tracey xx

Congratulations on guesting and what a treat your post is today x Love that you used some unloved paper and the texture, the ideas, the layouts on all your creations are truly inspirational. Love the chalkboard idea of how many sleeps to go too x. I am always hugely inspired when I pop in and today is definitely one of those days. So enjoyed the post and what marvellous and stunning creations and looking forward to seeing some of the rest completed too x Thank you x.
I cannot think of a better way to use up unloved papers, your clipboard is truly fabulous! I love how you altered the clip element, it is so full of wonderful texture. The mistletoe and holly are beautiful too. It is such a great idea to create another one too, for the rest of the year, it will be so useful.
Congratulations on your GDT spot too! Hugs, Anne xx

I saw this at TioT. It is fabulous. I was so happy you did the step outs, too. You are a fabulous artist and I can see why they invited you to be a guest designer.
Me ha cautivado la transformación del clip...parece que lo hayas tallado de un tronco de árbol.
Los muérdagos son preciosos, es una de mis plantas favoritas.
Felicidades por ello.
Besos y feliz semana!!!
A fabulous project Tracey and I loved seeing how you created it. Creating an all year one would be another great way of using up all the unloved papers we seem to store. BTW I love the chalkboard for how many sleeps .
Lovely to have you as our GD , thanks again.
Hugs from sunny Hurghada. Xx

Hello there Tracy, Your clipboard creation is gorgeous! I love love the authentic vintage look that you have so beautifully captured; with all of the great textures, paste, paint and layered paper. Your embellishing is such a treat to the eyes. Really enjoyed the tips and tricks you shared too~
I forget about the 'negative' (twofer) we create can be used as well! I sure enjoyed my visit here : ) Have a blessed day~ karen o
Oh have mercy Tracey! This is the most splendid Christmas make I've seen all year! My heart is delighted to see your genius mixed media use of these pretty elements. I adore your greenery and the sleeps countdown idea! I may have to CASE that portion! My kids would go nuts. Hope you've having a lovely season my sweet friend. Hugs, Autumn
