Well hello there, thanks so much for stopping by.

No doubt you have taken lots & lots of photos over this
Christmas season so I have just one last Christmas layout

2Crafty Chipboard Used….
Stars Border
Holly Vine Corners
Messy Frame 6” Set
A Christmas to Remember - title
filmstrips - Tiny
After firstly creating & stencilled background & adding lots of glitter
to it, although that is not easy to see in a photo, I then did some background
stamping & then set to work customising my chipboard pieces.
The chipboard "title" & the little "Stars"were just given
a couple of coats of red acrylic paint. Too easy.

I then added some "Glossy Accents" to make the stars really
shiney & finished them off by brushing a little
white gesso over them.

Next up I used the middle sized frame from the
"Messy Frame Set"
to frame my photos & help draw the eye.
I basecoated these in white acrylic paint, dried them off before
wiping them over with a brown Distress Ink Pad & giving a tiny
spray of water which makes the ink runny & patchy & also
waters the colour down too. Always a good shabby technique.
I did the same technique on the little
"Filmstrip" at the top of the page too.
Lastly I cut up one of the "Holly Vine Corners", to use at the right
side of my photo. I painted it in a lovely green watercolour paint
& then gave it a light spray of water to make the watercolour
paint a bit runny. This gives it a nice shabby vibe.
Well thats all I have for you today.
I do hope you like it.
Until next time...
