Dear Santa - Winter Layout

Finally I finish it!! So much to learn when you use a a lot of mediums in it. This layout is our second theme that we (my group of friends who happen to be crazy about scrapbooking) decided to make this months to celebrate Christmas. Everything here in Singapore is so festive and pretty, eventhough we dont have snow, instead rain rain everyday. Haha.

Using Blue Fern papers with their beautiful watercolor effect. Use it for the background and the layers for my photo mat. I used a lottttt of crackle paint and spray from Prima to create the depth of the bricks.


You can see there are a lot of layers with dimension. I use cut chipboard and stack them together to give the thickness.



























I loveee the flourish. Fully embossed using Stampedous Shabby White embossing powder. White with lots of gold glitter and specks of gold. They look so pretty!! Got the flowers from Prima and gesso-ed them to tone down the color a bit and also give that snowy look.


The tags is chipboard from dusty attic, gesso-ed and I traced the letters using gold gel pen and coated it with clear crackle paint.


 This is to show your the crackle paint from Prima. Look how amazing it is!! I used Prima stencil with white crackle texture paste. Oh, before that I sprayed tea stain and gold foil for the background of the bricks. Must let the crackle paint dry naturally. I tried using heat gun and the crackle didn't show much. After they completely dry, i just use my finger to dab gold and silver paint to make the crack more obvious. The clock resin is also from Prima.



The best part!! We took a lot of photos but I chose this one. LOL. Ok, Santa. This is the evidence that we have been soooo good this year. I think we deserve some pressies.

I am going for 3 challenges using this layout, 13arts challenge, Blue Fern sketch challenge and Scrap Around the World challenge. This is the mood board where I got my inspiration from. Love the white and gold with a bit of blue to express how I feel about this Christmas. I want to have snow in Singapore!!!! Lol.
