Christmas Journal page

 

Good Monday Morning Ladies,

Welcome December and welcome to the start of a new week!  

Do you ever have one of those 'why do I bother ' days, I finished the journal page that I am sharing with you today.  I started another page 3 times and then gave up!  Then I followed a Tracy Evans tutorial almost to the end  was pleased with my achievement, I was on the phone to matt and getting Christmas shopping tips from Sophie at the same time, which was a recipe for disaster, the finishing piece was stamping an Owl on a sign post, of course I stamped it upside down, tried to rescue it but it wasn't happening! 😔  At that point I switched my desk lights off and walked away! 

I used Vintage Photo & Festive Berries Oxide Spray inks  and then dried with heat tool. I splattered some water over the background to add interest,  then added some background stamping.  To add some sparkle I added some stars, using Tim Holtz stencil and some gold glitter paste (although the gold glitter was hiding) 🤣, it did add some shine though. 

Onto the fun part, picking out all of the elements to build the focal piece.  I chose 3 main pieces and then added a ticket and cut a stripey label in half and added a bit to top and bottom.  Then came the Santa and the poinsettia and little 25 sticker.  The final touch was the splatters and the little sentiment. 

I hope that you all have a great start to your week, 

Love & huge hugs to all of you, 

Sandra xxx
