This week Julie is sharing the Lifestyle for real life blog and collection of pinterest boards. And I did some poking around in both sites and stopped at this star shaped mint ornament. I did not click on it to see how they melted the candies into the star shape I just knew I had both stars and candy canes and mints I could play off that theme with. (a whole bunch of her boards are group boards so multiple people are pinning to them) And I cannot remember which board that came off of but, that is why the name is not her name when you click on it.
So I stamped this Inky Antics Buttermilk Basin crock of candy canes and starry pine sprigs stamp with some Versafine Morning Mist on Artist loft watercolor paper and started adding some paint to it.
Once the paint layers were dry ( there are two or three here I forget) I did add some white gel pen to the "white" areas of the candy canes and some sparkle gel pen to the edges of the stars. I did die cut this with two dies from the Creative Expressions stitched weave frame dies & inked the edges of that with some Vintage Photo Distress Oxide ink.The Joy here is from Stampin' Up! Small Script set & done with Versafine Nocturn. The printed paper is a double sided one from Maja Designs Woodland Christmas set. The base is Stampin Up riding hood red & this is A2 & Flat (yay me) in real life. Thats about it from me, If you'd like to play along with us you can find this challenge here at SCS. Thanks for stopping by.
