Happy Boxing Day. We are off to my son's today to go and see what Santa brought the grandchildren - they always seem to get far too much.
I hope you have had a wonderful Christmas Day with your loved ones. Santa was very kind to me and bought me lots of wonderful goodies, including some great crafting pressies. How lucky I am.
I have been inspired by the Gingersnap Creations Chestnut Theme Challenge - 'Starry Night'. It is ages since I have had the chance to enter any challenges and am enjoying the opportunity to do so.
Experimenting with PPs and Stazon ink I got a very clear definition from a Kanban stamp on a PP background. Once I had applied the colour for the background, I rubbed it over with a clean, dry wipe to get any excess powder off first.
The stars were created using some sequin waste and Versamark with several different colours of PP dabbed over the top, the star was made cutting two stars using the Cricut and then adding a star gem to the middle. The 'wish' sentiment is a Sizzix die and embossed with glittery embossing powder.
I think I will put this piece in my art journal and start a section for PP techniques.
Here are my other 'Stars'. This was the day before Christmas Eve and I had the girls for the afternoon whilst Mum went shopping and then both Mum and Dad and their other helper wrapped presents.
This is Ella (showing her gappy teeth) and Maddison baking cakes and decorating with .........
...... of course - stars. This is one of Ellas -
.... and these were Maddisons.
Do you know Santa must have been very hungry when he got to their house - he ate one of their cakes as well as a biscuit and mince-pie and he drank a cup of milk!!!
Enjoy your day.
luv and hugs {brenda} xoxox
