A Vintage Journey - Lets Celebrate

Let’s Celebrate

A Vintage Journeys latest Challenge is hosted by Nikki and here's her brief

You can make something to celebrate Christmas if you wish but lets not forget about those December birthdays, anniversaries, Hanukkah and New Years. It may be fun to focus on celebrations other than Christmas, it's up to you.

I love Christmas trees and snowy scenes and decided to carry on my current theme of Christmas decorations for Nikki's celebration challenge and create a Winter Wonderland

using Tim's Dies, Idea-Ology and products

I painted Tim holtz Woodland Trees with Gesso 

 Then sprayed with Peacock Feathers Distress Spray Stain

Once dry brushed gesso to the edges of the bristles for a snowy effect

 I cut the back panel from chipboard and covered with embossed snowflake card and stamped trees with peacock feather distress inks then punched holes, and attached fairy lights to the back and fixed in place

 I attached a wooden star and then painted the bird house with gesso

Then coloured with Black Soot and Peacock Feathers Distress spray stains and Dylusions Slate Grey and wiped back to get a soft distress look 

 Finished with flower soft Polar white on the roof, star and bird

and on the floor of the house

The deer’s and toadstools were edged with peacock feathers distress ink and fixed to acetate 

Reindeer flight die was cut in chipboard andcovered with white card and edged with Peacock feathers

The Frame was decorated with tiny snowflakes and edged with Peacock Feathers

I hope you like my little winter wonderland, celebrating Christmas and a beautiful little deer that comes to visit where I live most days

Enjoy your celebrations!
