A reindeer and an art journal page for Scrap FX

Getting so close to Christmas and I'm running out of time for everything.

Might be a bit sad to admit but this little cutie I made this weekend, is the only decoration I have in my house this year.

I started with the 3D Reindeer and gave it a coat of gesso.  Once dried I have added 4 different colours of paints.

I used my poscas to colour the Holly Spray and gave it a bit of a sparkle with some clear embossing powder.

Was such a simple project but I love him.

It's also nice to have at least one christmassy thing in my home.

     

This page started with using the left over paints from my reindeer.  I've added to is some torn pieces of Sketchings No. 2 by Michelle Logan collage paper. These rice paper sheets are so awesome to use.

To the central focal point  I have adhered some wings from the Wings Transparency with matte medium.  My title was done the same, this time from the Teen Advice Transparency.  I painted the back of this in fuchsia before sticking to the page.

You will also find on this page the Line Marking Stamp, Target Stencil and the Triangle Collage Stamp.

           

      

Not really a christmas canvas for Scrap FX

Today's project is not what it was meant to be.

I was so excited to order the Decorative Antlers when I saw them.  I have made Christmas canvases in the past and thought they'd be perfect for another.  Thing is, once I started building up layers, it turned into an everyday piece.

The antlers have been coloured with posca pens and the Mini Feathers have been heat embossed with shabby chic embossing powder.

I used a sharpie and posca pen to add the ears and eyes with the Create a Unicorn stencil.

If you look between the the antlers you can see that I have lightly stamped in grey ink the Chicken Wire stamp.  This was just to add a little more interest to the background.

I has all been build up with die cuts and flowers from my stash, with no holly or red nose anywhere.
