Winter Art Journal

Sharing a Winter themed art journal page

that I created just before Christmas.

This is kraft card (page 10) in my new journal.

I'm not creating in order so 7, 8 & 9 will

be created on in 2020.

I began by scraping gesso on the page, taking care 

not to go right up to the edges.

Once dried, I applied Golden Light Molding paste

over Winter Wonderland Stencil/Mask

by The Crafter's Workshop.

I dried this with my heat tool to make it

puff up so that the rings went deeper.

Before it was fully dry, I added a dusting of

Rock Candy glitter to give sparkle like you

see in real snow.

To colour my page I used watered down PaperArtsy

Fresco Chalk paint in Wolf Eye & Blue Smoke.

(Oct 2019 release, Christmas present)😊

I dry brushed white gesso over some of the

textured areas once the paint was dry.

I love the blue on the kraft where I had

not put down gesso first.

I busted out my Tim Holtz Ephemera packs,

(hoarded for two years)

to create a cluster of mainly B&W,

with just hints of colour in the text.

I then added my die cut deer (American Crafts die)

onto a simple wreath I made from jute.

The finishing touch was Tim Holtz Christmas Clippings

(also hoarded for two years)

I have also created another winter theme

 for my Colour Exploration Journal.
