Frilly and Funkie - Winter Wishes

Hello Everyone!

It's time for another fabulous challenge at the FRILLY AND FUNKIE challenge blog! Thank you so much to everyone who joined in for our last challenge, there were so many gorgeous projects to feast my eyes on!

This challenge is being hosted by the very talented Nancy and she has chosen the theme WINTER WISHES.  She would like you to share what you love most about the season. You can create any type of project, layout, or card that expresses what you love about winter, whether it's sledding down a snowy hill or curling up with a book and a cup of hot cocoa.

What I love most about winter is the gorgeous scenery. In my home town, the mornings are spectacular, with the soft blue sky and the glittery snow sitting on every branch as far as the eye can see! Since our house is basically in the middle of a forest, it's not unusual to see deer prancing through the front yard! It's a breathtaking view from behind the big window in the warmth of the house lol !!

For the blue layer, I painted a piece of white stock with a very pale blue paint and then spritzed it with Picket Fence distress spray. I used a Memory Box stencil and some homemade texture paste to add some rays of light through the sky. I covered the paste with Tim Holtz dry glitter Rock Candy for a gorgeous glimmer.

The brown layer was stamped with a Tim Holtz snowflake from the Winter Sketchbook stamp set and distress ink Walnut Stain.

The trees were cut using Tim Holtz On the Edge die Treeline and covered with home-made iridescent glitter paste. One layer was coloured using Tim Holtz distress spray Iced Spruce, the white layer was coated with Rock Candy distress glitter.

The reindeer was cut with Tim Holtz Reindeer Flight die and coated with Picket Fence Crackle Paint. I used Walnut Stain distress ink to accent the cracks and blend onto the edges.

The sentiment was stamped with Archival ink Potting Soil and a Joy Crafts stamp. I accented it with Iced Spruce distress ink.

The Tim Holtz On the Edge Distressed Doily die cut was stamped with the Tim Holtz script stamp from the Papillon stamp set using my Walnut Stain ink pad and edged with my Walnut Stain and blending tool.

The seam binding was coloured with Iced Spruce and Bundled Sage. I layered it over a trimmed piece of burlap ribbon and attached it with my BRAND NEW Tim Holtz Tiny Attacher!!
