Happy Boxing Day!

Hi, it's Tina here, with my last post as a design team member for WOW.  I can't believe the six months is over already.  It's been an honor to be on the team with such wonderful, talented, and inspirational ladies.  A huge thank you to Suzanne for believing in me, and for creating such fabulous chipboard for us to play with.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas, I certainly did.  But I must admit I was exhausted after all the shopping, cooking, cleaning, and preparation for the day.

  I've got a few things to share with you today.

 I embossed the Angel Blowing Trumpet, covered it in Gold Leaf, and added some gold Stickles.

 I painted the  "Christmas Morning" title with Smooch inks, and added some glitter glue in similar colours.

 I haven't completed a layout for my next title "Night before Christmas", as I still need to print my photos of the tree and presents from Christmas Eve.  Once again I used Smooch and coloured various words.  I blended the colours on "Christmas" from dark to light to dark again. 

 You can easy create this effect with inks, paints, or watercolour pencils.

I wanted to share a canvas I made for my daughter as a Christmas present.  It has so many layers of mists, die-cuts, rub-ons, tapes, paints, and was heaps of fun to make.  I used some Petite Alchemy Blooms and an Ornamental Flourish (which I cut up) , misting and painting them.
