Creative Artiste ~ #122 Anything Mixed Media Goes/Optional Christmas

 Hello Creatives 

December already 🎅

How fast did we get here this year..!! 

with it I bring the last challenge of 2025 @ Creative Artiste 

#122 ~ Anything Mixed Media Goes/Optional Christmas  

My Design Team Project came about making use of leftover 

Christmas bits, card backgrounds and paint waste with a 

meeting of two projects to embrace the season 🎄

This washi taped, paint scraped background reminded me of a snowy 

scene on a cold Winters night, leftover from my handmade Christmas 

cards there's stamped and embossed script, art yarn edging with 

large snowflake buttons included into the mix.

This felt Robin I discovered @ Thimble wood created by the 

super talented Michelle you will find her lovely kits HERE

One of many I've been making for loved ones each given a 

different embellishment.. this one with a beaded belly and 

jingle bell holly berries 😊

Displayed on the last page of my 2025 journal 

it's a reminder of the year gone by and future ahead.. 

Pop over HERE and see what the Creative Artiste team have

Frosty Robin

Regrettably I never got chance to use this delightful stamp before Christmas, whilst having a top and tail of some of my stamp collection I thought I would test stamp the Robin from IndigoBlu and just couldn't resist creating a little hanging plaque.

I painted a 6x6" greyboard with white gesso then Grandma's Teacup acrylic by IndigoBlu, whilst the paint was still wet I removed some of the paint using a sponge exposing the white gesso.

Using versafine black onyx I stamped the Bare Forest Stamp various times using a mask to 

help resist some of the ink transferring onto the board.

Using an oral syringe filled with IndigoBlu Super Thick Slap I followed the stamped branches by pushing the slap it on through the syringe giving a thin raised appearance.

Sprinkling with unicorn sparkles this really gives the look of frosty branches.

The robin has been stamped, embossed and painted with Postbox Red & Hot Cocca, posca pens have been used to add finer detail with the finished image being fussy cut. I decided to cut the fruit off my design as it did not go with what I was hoping to achieve.

Onto the board The Robin along with red gems have been randomly adhered to represent berries, adding a spot of white gesso to each berry blends them nicely into the picture.

I edged the board using clear embossing pen and white embossing powder.

The word freedom is from IndigoBlu's Plume stamp set stamped and embossed onto paper also  painted in the Grandma's Teacup. 

As I stated earlier this really is a delightful stamp and i'm already thinking of ways to use it..

I'd like to enter this in the Rubber Dance Stamp Challenge - January Blue-Red-White

Thank you for sharing your time to take a peek..
