We Love 2 Create – A Winter Walk!


Hello, how’s it going?

Now you may or may not have noticed that I have been dipping my toe into the wonderful world of Mixed Media lately.  Well now I have a chance to paddle right out there (eeeeek!) as I have joined the amazing WE LOVE 2 CREATE team.


We have a challenge every month that is ‘Anything Creative/Mixed Media Goes’ and we are sponsored by the amazing POLKADOODLES!! Our winner will receive a fabulous prize so check out the blog for details.

So my effort this month is a canvas board, covered in various mica sprays, texture paste and gilding wax.  I added a tag with a ‘walk in a winter wood’ theme achieved by inking through the fab TREES stencil and adding a snowy ground with texture paste.


I wanted to use the fabulous girl image from the stamp set SPECIAL TIMES but she looked a little too ‘summery’ for what I had in mind. So, with my need to always find alternative uses for my dies, I applied the same principle to my stamps.  I used elements from the GREAT DAYS set to give her a winter coat, earmuffs, hat and scarf! I even doodled her some stripy tights so her legs wouldn’t get cold!! 


Ingredients:
Stamps: POLKADOODLES SPECIAL TIMES & GREAT DAYS
Colouring: Copics  
Colouring Paper: ULTIMATE GRAPHIC
Canvas Board Background: Tonic Nuvo Mica Sprays – Texture Paste – Starlight Wax - Various Stencils
Tag Background: Mica Sprays - Leonie Pujol ‘Snowfall’ Embossing Folder sanded back – POLKADOODLES ‘TREES/FOLIAGE’ STENCIL - Texture Paste
Dies: Tattered Lace ‘Nesting Tags’
Others: Silver Thread – Wooden Snowflakes Covered with Starlight Wax - Seed Beads - Stickles

Thanks so much for looking and taking the time to comment; I really do appreciate it! Have a great day!

See ya!
Jane xx

    I was sad to read about your black lab Jane, Thye died in April, just before she turned 10. Not sure if I can bear getting another one, no one can replace our fur babes.xx
