Hello Friends
The first Friday of the month means a new challenge at A Vintage Journey The lovely Julia is our host this month. Here is what Julia has to say:
'This month we are asking you to create with STARS. Fill up the dark winter sky with them or use one big one as your central focus. Stencil them, stamp them, emboss them or die cut them. Make a card, make a star box, make a canvas, create a journal page - remembering to create in the vintage, shabby, mixed media, art journalling, industrial or steampunk styles.'
I usually make a 'light up' home decor piece at Christmas time and the Star theme fitted my plan perfectly.
I used a Tim Holtz Vignette Box, his Merry Moose (I love him!!), one of Tim's Woodland trees and a few other Tim products to create my winter scene...
I started by creating a fake 'wall' at the back of the vignette so that my lights could fit behind. The wall was created with a really old Tim Holtz paper pad - one page had resist stars on and I simply added some Distress Ink to the starry background. I punched some holes, through some of the stars for the lights to show through. I used the same paper for the insides of the vignette.
The top, sides and floor of the vignette were coated with Ranger Distress Grip Paste. I die cut Merry Moose, some trees and small deer, coloured them and added them to the vignette along with one of Tim's Woodland Trees, coloured green.
I added a lot of Tim's Greenery to the top of the vignette and added a Ideaology sentiment.to the front. The back of the vignette was covered with some snowflake design paper from my stash. I used the same paper to create a battery pack holder.
