The Sweetest Christmas Cards

Hi there Creatives!

Isn't Christmas Time the BEST time of the year?

I made these Christmas cards with Mintay Papers, The Sweetest Christmas Collection. The friendly fat Santa faces are just adorable!

All Mintay Papers paper packs has two sheets of each design and a bonus elements page , perfect for fussy cutting.

For these cards I used the 6" x 6" size. I dry embossed the background on white card-stock and added a bit of water-colour paint. I also splattered with the pink paint and Champagne All Purpose Ink.

Here are some close-up pictures:

Happy Creative Play!

Altered Mixed Media Memory Box

Hi there Creatives!

This time of the year is like a wild roller coaster ride! The days are too short, energy levels are low and my creative Mojo is playing hide and seek! 

I did manage to complete this altered mixed media wooden trinket box. It  took me 2 weeks to complete amidst all the interruptions. So I am sorry to say that it was impossible to take step by step photos like I normally do. 

I first painted the wooden box and randomly added a torn serviette with gel medium. I then stencilled with rose gold crackle paste to add dimension and stamped with a few different stamps to create a layered look.

The resin elements was first painted with black Gesso and then covered with wax and finished off with silver and copper leave. (A new favourite technique!)

Here are more pictures:

Happy "Creative Play" till next time!
