It's a White Christmas

It's our last challenge of the year at

 Creative Artiste Mixed Media

and I had a lot of fun creating a 

Very Snowy Christmas Hanger.

 I bought the hanger last year - just didn't get to work on it.

I knew when I saw it, it was perfect for Mixed Media.

Let the fun begin! Gessoed with black and white.

Painted the outer circle with 

AA metallic rusty red and dark forest.

adding crackle paste to the inside circle

Lots of  'messy stuff'' going on here

adding crackle paste, glitter, art stones.

touched up back trees in green,

AA waxes, acrylic paint for snow capped trees and houses.

It needed a backing so cut out a circle

and smooched with Tim's ox inks and some

irridescent medium for shimmer.

and that finished off my

Christmas Wall Hanger.

Head over to our Blog to see what my

Talented Team Mates had fun creating.

Hope you get some 'you' time to create

a little mixed media something for us.

This is our last challenge for the year.

We take a break in January but

we will be back with more Mixed Media

for your pleasure in February.

Thank you for your kind comments throughout the year.

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas

and a Safe Happy and Healthy New Year. 

I'm Guest Designer at Color Hues

 I am excited and honoured to be

the Guest Designer

 at Color Hues Challenge

for Challenge #54

Here is what I made

I started with my background inking the

Altenew Peony Bouquet flower several times

with Memento Paris Dusk onto cream card stock.

I then inked and layered up the peony flower and 

Altenew Beautiful Day leaves in the same ink.

The last layer of the flower is heat embossed with

sparkly candy blue embossing powder as is the small leaves.

Here is a close up you can see a little of the sparkle

Added some navy blue thread to the back

while putting my floral spray together.

Sentiment is from Happy Little Stampers and

cut from MFT circle die.

Framed in blue and attached to cream card base.

Isn't it just such a lovely combo?
