Happy Christmas


Journal Page for Stampotique Challenge Anything Goes and the Craftbarn Alpha Challenge Letter X-Xmas!

I have longed to use Oh my Deer as this was my first Stampotique acquisition! and along came Santa Baby who arrived just this week!!
I started by stamping the images and colouring with water colours an early Christmas present!

Then distressed the edges with Distress inks, Black Soot, Walnut Stain and Barn Door
The Dictionary background was washed with DecoArt Quinacridone Gold, Burnt Orange and Carbon Black

Once dry I applied the collage pieces and distressed further with the inks and acrylic paint splats
Have a lovely Christmas Everyone and a Happy New Year!

Jools :)

    Jools, this is just great! I don't think you used *every* Christmas stamp that Stampotique makes, but you have come pretty close! This is just such a fun scene. Great work!

    Love this page. It looks fantastic and I know its not easy to get a balance with all the different stamps. You have the right amount of colour to grungy murkiness. Just such a fun page.
