Winter ~ Paperbabe Stamps Challenge #108

Hello Creative Friends, 

WINTER is this fortnights theme over  

@ Paperbabe Stamps Challenge #108 

Here's what I got up to on a cold and frosty morning...

Gluing scrunched tissue onto a journal page, white gesso 

highlights the texture. Stamping Trees and Snowflakes 

into the open space adds to my Winter scene. 

Stamping the Paperbabe LEFT 3/4 View Dinky Face onto a 

separate page I gave her Micro Fringe Hair using the template and 

fashioned a Beanie Hat to keep her warm before cutting her out. 

Glued onto the mixed media background a glittery pom pom 

is added along with die cut words. As the snow glisten's 

it's as if she's "Walking in a Winter Wonderland"..

Why not treat yourself to some cosy creative time and 

come share your WINTER creations with us over HERE.. 

There's a chance to win a prize for one Lucky winner. 

Look forward to seeing your WINTER creations. 

Creative Hugs

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...

**Winter Wonderland**

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
