”Season’s Greetings” - DT Layout for Maja Design

Merry Christmas everyone!!!

May your Christmas be filled with lots of happiness, peace and love!

Today I'm up on the Maja Design blog and I have a layout to share with you. I used papers from the ''I Wish'' collection which matched perfectly the beautiful photo I found on Pinterest. Is there anyone who doesn't believe on Santa? I still believe... and this photo was just perfect for a Christmasy post. 

But, before I continue I want to give all the proper credits to the photographer.

 For my background, I used the ”I wish you a Happy Holiday” paper and I made the layers behide my photo with torn papers from the ''I wish we will deck the halls'', the ''I wish for a holly jolly Christmas''. I also placed some pieces from an old book and two photos from the ''I wish - Ephemera''.

I applied on the center of my paper white gesso and then I added some texture with modeling paste and a stencil. Before it gets dried I heat embossed it with ''Purely White'' embossing powder. Then, I used Lindy’s Stamp Gang mists, ”Rudolph’s Nose Red” and ”Bayou Boogie Gold” with some water to make a watercolor effect. I also added some splatters with 13arts white splash ink.

I heat embossed the frame and the floral chipboards with ”Desert Moon Copper Pine”, the words and the dotted baubble chippies with ”King Midas Gold” Lindy’s embossing powders. All the chipboards I used are 2crafty and the flowers are Prima Marketing. The metal embellishments are ”Scrap Unlimited”.

As a final touch, I made some splatters with white splash ink and when dried I added some bronze microbeads.
