Winter / Christmas

Good morning all ,

thanks for joining me on this Friday morning. 

Today it is the start of a new Fussy and Fancy Challenge.

Our theme is

Winter / Christmas 

Now I know you will have stamps, stencils  etc on your craft desk just waiting for this challenge. 

I know I did, 

Our hostess is the lovely 

Gina, 

Here is what I came up with 

Here is how I created it, 

Well to be honest it sort of created itself, you see I didn’t really have a plan.

I started with a piece of card and some ink,

This really is a great way to just start and then play.

If Mr MoJo takes a holiday , encourage him back with inky play.

It really does work .

After some water splats , I stamped my arch, 

These Lavinia stamps are so fabulous to use and stamp beautifully. 

Next I added a tree , and I wanted to use a different stamp than the normal tree or now feather stamp..

Next came the fairies, the moon and the edges, 

Blend8ng the edges really does help to frame the design 

I do love the way the design just grows, so it was foliage next .

Now at this point , I just thought something didn’t look quite right...

And I couldn’t put my finger on it .

So I trimmed a couple of centimetres of the width,

and yes, that looked so much better . 

Then I added some splats of haematite Inka Gold. 

( don’t put these products away, keep using them ) 

A sentiment and some gems , and walk away 

Sometimes you have to know when to stop...

I am so happy with the way the arch turned out , 

Hope you like it too.
