Capturing the Winter Season

Posted on by

Happy New Year!

It’s our first challenge of the year over at Try it on Tuesday, which for the next two weeks is It’s Cold Outside; I hope you like my snowy winter scene (smile!).

To see how this page came together, please check out the short video below that captures the magic of the winter season, featuring a cosy sleigh and a majestic reindeer.

Join me in this creative adventure as we delve into the magical world of the winter season, complete with a serene snowy landscape and a majestic reindeer. This tutorial will guide you through a step-by-step process bringing to life the enchanting spirit of reindeer, snowflakes and cosy sleigh rides. From selecting the perfect papers to adding intricate details, you’ll learn how to transform your art journal to a captivating winter scene that celebrates the beauty and joy of the season (smile!).

The mixed media that I used to create this page was Stamperia paper, Crafter’s Companion glue tape and dots pens, Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend markers, Uni Pin Fine Line marker, Uniball gel pen, Tim Holtz Thinlits, white acrylic paint, Stamperia Rub-ons, and Liquitex acrylic ink.

For more inspiration, please pop over to Try it on Tuesday to see the wonderful creations from our Guest Designer and the rest of my Design Teamies.

This page was also inspired by my new reindeer decoration; it even has bells like the reindeer on my page (smile).

I bought the reindeer from The Flower Shop in Clitheroe; this shop is such a beautiful place to explore with lots of hidden treasures; you can just make out the reindeer at the bottom centre of this photo, on the shelf  under the plants (smile!).

It’s time for a new challenge over at Try it on Tuesday, which for the next two weeks is It’s All About Santa.

Today’s art journal page was created using a cute Santa themed card topper set – Season’s Greetings everyone!

For my Santa page: I simply cut covered the cardstock from the Topper Set into panels and covered the background with them using Crafter’s Companion Glue Tape pen; I applied silver border outline stickers to finish the vertical edges of the cardstock where they met; and finally I added all images from the topper set using double-sided foam tape.
