Hi everyone, sharing a layered textured page from my large dylusions journal today. Following on from a glorious autumn, the weather has turned blustery and we are probably not far off from some frosty weather. There are always patches of green around even in winter and I love a crisp morning where the frost has touched everything. I was reminded of this as the layers built up on my pages and a frosty green scene appeared, a white frosted bird and foliage just seemed a perfect touch alongside the sentiment. I used a leafy clarity stencil with colour blooms and then added further stamping and stenciling with coordinating fresco paints. Stencils with clear gel medium and a sprinkling of rock candy distress glitter gave dimension and added to the frosty feel. Book text and washi tape were also used in the background. Some stamping in black archival. The foliage is a memory box die which I scraped some puff paint on and added a sprinkle of white embossing powder before heating. Same treatment to the PaperArtsy bird diecut. A little shading and finally the sentiment stamped under the 'branch'. It's a little hard to see the subtle sparkle, but it's there. It's been lovely to have some fun creating and be able to enter this in the following fabulous challenges. Craft Stamper - Take It Make It challenge - take a stamp and Anything Goes for November.
