Merry Christmas

Here's a page featuring the new Snowflake 3D Shimmer, which lights up at the touch of a button! I have also used some gorgeous Christmas papers, and various stickers. The sweater stickers, red glittered paper, and adorable gingerbread men really made me smile, and remember all the wonderful Christmas times I've had with family.  The photo is of my son sledding on Long Island, New York. There's not a lot of snow where I live now in Houston, so this was a pretty exciting day for everyone!

Supplies Used:

• Snowflake 3D Shimmer
• Home for Christmas Tags 12" Double Sided Glitter Scrapbook Paper
• Ugly Sweaters 3D Stickers
• Snowflake 12" Acetate Paper
• Gingerbread Puffy Sticker
• Merry and Bright 12" Double Sided Scrapbook Paper

To make this layout I put a piece of foam core board underneath the photo with mat,to give it some dimension. It also leaves space to tuck flowers and things into. I put the 3D Shimmer snowflake on, then the acetate snowflakes,Gingerbread, and Ugly Sweater Stickers. 

To create more texture I applied gesso, gold lace, antique glass glitter, microbeads,a reindeer die cut,flowers, leaves, a chain, and charms. I rubbed on pearl mica powder on top of the gesso, and gold mica powder on the edges of almost everything.

I painted some areas with cobalt blue water color, and used aqua and bark colored watercolor pencil in others. I used a frost spray on a piece of memory glass, you can see it to the right of the photo.

Thank you so much for looking, and have a great week!

What could be nicer than  bluebirds on a scrapbook page? 

To make this page I used 12 x 12 watercolor paper, I wanted a very neutral background so that the stickers would be the focus of the page.  I cut up another piece of the same type of paper, and to create dimension, arranged it with foam core board in between some of the layers.

I took a stencil and applied some texture paste.

I added a variety of things to add texture,including gauze, microbeads, sequins, feathers,pressed flowers and rhinestones.  I used a paintbrush to apply watercolors, and gesso as well. 

Thank you so much for looking, and have a wonderful week!
