Inspired By All the Little Things #31

It's Looking a lot like Christmas at Inspired By All the Little Things #31

I went for a mixed media project in hopes to re-create the  inspiration photo.

• For the sheet music, I glued bits of  Tim Holtz tissue paper onto white cardstock 
• then cover it with a light wash of white gesso.
• sanded it with a block after it was dry, for a smooth stamping surface.
• Stamped A New Day (this is the bird on a branch) in Spiced Chia dye ink
• Colored it with Watercolor INKTENSE COLORED PENCILS 
• came back with the Ziggy's for details.
• Stamped several Pine Boughs from Holiday Cones in Deep Emerald and Everglade Moss
• Stamped three layers of the Poinsettia in Rose Quartz,Coral Cavern,and Valentine Red
• stamped the solid layer only for two more Poinsettias in Valentine Red
• Die cut all three Poinsettias
• Stacked them off set and glued them together with Tombow mono. 
• Stamped and colored a branch with berries from Holiday Cones
• Die cut MERRY CHRISTMAS from Black fun foam and Matte Gold foil . Glued them together.
• Added Glossy Accents to each Red Berry and the eye of the chickadee.
• Added shadows with N1 and N3 Copic marker

I did make a short video coloring the chickadee and branch:))
