Winter Wonderland

Hello. I have ‘found’ some Tim Holtz ephemera packs I bought either last year or the year before and had a play:

I started by taking a piece of Kraft card stock measuring 5×7 inches, and blended Distress Ink ‘Candied Apple‘ over the whole panel.

Using a Spellbinders embossing folder, I ran that panel through, then distressed the surface with a sandpaper block.

The brown ribbon was placed across, stuck down the the back of the panel, and then the panel adhered to a 5×7 inch card base.

The ephemera pieces were laid out and played with until I was happy with the scene it created, and a red striped Tim Holtz paper placed behind the aperture. The images were glued onto the paper – measured and placed according to the base board panel – then the base board panel was distressed slightly with a brown Distress Ink, then adhered with Distress Collage Medium.

The deer was added after that was stuck down, then some more collage medium added to the top and bottom of the base board aperture, then mica flakes scattered there.

The sentiment board was distressed a little with some brown Distress Ink, then also glued down with collage medium.

I enjoyed playing with products from my stash that are not my usual ‘go to’ products – and getting inky and messy, of course.

I shall be entering the following challenges:

Ally’s Angels – anything goes

Hand Stamped Sentiments – photo inspiration – the deer in the scene caught my eye

Creative Fingers – anything goes

Peace On Earth – anything goes Christmas

Make My Monday – wild animals

Christmas Crafts All Year Round – Christmas with reindeer/moose/deer
