A little winter romance

Who doesn't need a little romance in their lives? This happy couple is enjoying a winter skate with a little Christmas angel watching over them. This is one of the images on the Young Lovers collage sheet and is perfect for a Christmas card for your sweetie or a favorite couple, a winter anniversary or just a note card to say you're thinking of them. Altered Pages has Christmas collages of all types from Vintage to modern. Be sure to check them out for your holiday art.

To help give the collage image a little dimension, I dipped the edges in VersaMark and embossed them with a metallic powder to give it a little shine.

Altered Pages has a good variety of Christmas paper designs. If you're looking for something that will stand out, check out the seasonal section on the website! When I trimmed this paper down from 6x6 to 4x5.25 There was a a pretty good size strip of paper with a lot of the little circles. My design includes two squares of deep red and deep green card stock. The skaters are mounted on the red, so to give the green piece more interest, I used a punch to gather some of those leftover circles and add a little more color.

I used dimensional foam adhesive squares to give the couple a little lift. After that was attached to the card, I placed the circle punchouts on the green card with a dab of glue.

Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages. I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent! Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar. Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them. Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA! You have made your own solvent for literally pennies. You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a HUGE jar on the window sill! Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.

Full Circle

Hi all! Becky here today! I have been in a circle-mood lately & have been doing circles on everything! So why not do some circles with some of my Gelli Prints??? Here's a simple little card I made using 4 different circle punches, a black pen & some previously made Gelli prints! Hope you're enjoying Springtime in your area! Cheers!
