Hello and welcome to Ellibelle's Crafty Wednesday - January challenge taking place right here on my blog! I'm so
glad you stopped by today and I would love for you to link up your crafty
makes too. There were lots of wonderful entries in December, thank you all so
much for joining! My Top Picks with a twist are at the end of the post.
As a reminder, the
Papercrafters Year in Review hop
is going on now for a couple more days, if you would like to share your own
favorites of 2023 you can still link up with us, or you can simply
hop along. I'm having a small giveaway on my own blog but it does end on
January 5th.
Anything Goes
and instead of a challenge theme there will be a top pick twist, meaning the
top picks will each have something in common. But nobody knows what the
twist will be (not even me) and will be inspired by YOUR creations. So do
link up all your new or recently created crafty makes (any type of craft)
for your chance to have your project featured the next month! The linky tool is
at the end of the post.
Here is my share:
The background was done using Distress Oxide inks using the smooshing
technique and then I used a torn paper mask to make some snowy hills. Pine
tree is Lavinia's
Fairy Fir Tree (small) and I also used
part of Lavinia's quote
Snow Falls
on the bottom. The Pheasants are part of the Aall and Create set
Pheasant. A white Posca pen was used for falling snow and I also used a small Penny Black
snowflake stamped onto the background. Sorry I don't remember anymore which
set Let is Snow is from. I finished off by adding a few die cut snowflakes
(Penny Black Dancing Snowflake dies)
and a Sakura Stardust pen was used for
some frosty accents.
