The story behind the page: Twas the night before Christmas... Well it's nearly midnight and father Christmas is out an about on his deliveries. It's started snowing again and fresh snow clings onto last week's snow drifts.
Father Christmas (a Christmas set from Katzelkraft) is stamped in black over a brayered background. I added snow with a stamp from the same set, with water for the "background", then with white pigment ink for the foreground.
The snow drifts are made of sand medium and I sprinkled some glitter over the top (said glitter sadly invisible). Later I added some white paint as my snow wasn't "snowy" enough.
On the right I added some texture paste with an hexagon stencil and stamped on top, leaving some hexagons to be filled in with Sparkle medium in Jade (Imagination Crafts). No rhyme or reason for this, I just fancied doing that!
The clock, a die-cut stamped and embossed with a sentiment (Craft stamper freebie) and an embossed snowflake finish the page.
There you have it, Christmas is here!
I am also entering the Imagination Crafts, the Pan Pastel Uk and Lexi's creations challenges.
Happy holidays bloggers,
Oh I love how you have done your page, whimsical and timely (really must sort those presents out soon!) and the hexagons are a super touch, must try to use mine more often, great effect. BJ

Fabulous pages and I love your explanations - 'No rhyme or reason for this, I just fancied doing that!' and that I think is what has made this challenge fun. See you at the new one.
