Christmas collages

 


At Allsorts challenge this week we would like to see entries for

🎅🏻Christmas🎄

Or as always there's the option of using Anything Goes.

For my DT card I decided to try and use up some old Pion Design papers. (you might have seen me use this technique the other day here). They are too lovely to waste and I had kept lots of small offcuts. I managed to make a collage and round off the corners with a punch. Then I inked over it slightly, andcovered up the ugly bit with an image cut from another sheet. The background is from a Red Robin paper pad.

I decided to do the technique again but in my journal, which is actually an old diary I repurposed. It already had "notes" and "December" at the top of the page so I just inked over and stamped some snowflakes and did a similar design.


We have two prizes this week of Lavinia Stamps and stencil (photos not to scale). Please note, we (Lavinia) cannot provide exchanges/replacements/refunds for any products received through this third-party giveaway.

Super vintage Christmas designs, great use of an upcycled diary rather than throwing it out.
