Addicted to Stamps and more - Christmas Challenge #432

 

   

Here's my Christmas project...for the Challenge #422 at Addicted to Stamps and More

I started with a pre-coloured card blank - a magazine freebie (Papercrafter). To this I added a layer of card from the same magazine, finishing with the image. I used vintage photo distress ink around the edges.
This image is the freebie from Gecko Galz MONTHLY Christmas Challenge


 Hope you will enter the Addicted to Stamps and More Challenge! Do hop over to see the fabulous inspiration from my team-mates!


Happy Crafting!

Some of these are going to form bases of some grungy ATCs.

This is a Journal page I blogged earlier today - scroll down for more details!


Using similar techniques I made a set of ATCs:

Creative Warriors Inspiration Team - Post #14

          

This is my next inspiration for the Creative Warriors Inspiration Team 2022 - Term 1

with Michelle Grant Designs

You will see our inspirational creations on the Facebook Group

Today I am sharing a journal page which is a mash up of 

Speak Out




My journal page features 4 motifs made using the Speak Out images.


The background was brayered acrylic paint followed by collaged pieces of the printed pattern pieces.


I added the images, printed and cut out, added to pieces of a similar background and placed on black card.


Finally I added the sentiment, also from Silent.




At the same time I used the same images and similar backgrounds to make a set of ATCs for a Creative Warriors swap.


Happy Crafting!
