Christmas Cards

 My Christmas cards are all made and mostly sent. Here are some that I made this year.

I'm now doing a couple of Instagram Advent challenges, so I've decided not to finish my 365 Somethings challenge of mini collages. I managed to get to 315 and there just aren't enough hours in the day, days in the week to fit in everything I want to do. 

Thanks for visiting my blog. I'm so grateful for all the wonderful support I receive here. I will try to do some blog visiting myself this week.

Christmas Cards

 Hello All.

I made a start on some Christmas cards this week. 

I used some Elusive Images stamps for these two. These are old stamp sets that are no longer available unfortunately.

I used Distress Inks to make the backgrounds and to colour the images.

Every year my church ask me to come up with a design for the Christmas card they distribute locally with the Christmas services printed inside.

Here's the angel design I painted for this year's card.

Creative JumpStart Day 11

Hello All! 

Day 11 of CJS was Everyday Storytelling with Riikka Kovasin.

 We used different techniques on old receipts and bills, then cut them into little squares to create a mixed media grid background on an envelope. Then we created an art doll focal image, and added some words and doodling.

I used a mix of Carabelle Studio and PaperArtsy stamps, and Tim Holtz word stickers.

Mixed media is my favourite kind of art, and I'm linking this page to Erika's Favourite Things theme at Art Journal Journey.

I hope you're all having a lovely weekend,

Thanks for visiting,
