Conjurer of Dreams: Winter Critters

  
Hello

Today I'm sharing some projects I made using Conjurer of Dreams images. I hope you'll pop over to the store and take a look at the Digital Art on sale for collage, scrapbooks, journals, cards and more.

We have a new, open, worldwide challenge at the Conjurer of Dreams Blog.
The challenge theme is always 'Anything Goes', and this month's optional theme is 
'Winter Critters'.
We hope you'll share your projects with us.

We also have a friendly Facebook Group where we would love for you to share your Conjurer of Dream projects.

Here are my DT makes:


My first card uses the Skating Penguins, with their skates cut away, and a snowman from the Snowman Build set. I made an inky sky by blending Distress Oxide inks and using a circle mask for the sun. I die cut some snow mounds from white card. I used a Sizzix die to cut the trees from Distress Oxide coloured card. White paint splatters provide the snow.

A shaker card:


I made a shaker card using one of the Polar Bears images. Silver, blue and white are one of my favourite colour palletes for winter.I used patterned paper and white die cuts as embellishments along with paper flowers made with dies and distress oxide coloured card.

Next a simple layered Christmas card:


I used an image from the Snowman Build set for this one, The image has an extra, fussy cut critter added to it from the same set. White die cut embellishments and Snowflakes embossed and cut with a TH Impresslit.

A pair of ATCs:


I made these ATCs with the Winter Pines background set. I added snow splatters and clear Wink of Stella for some shimmer. I fussy cut two of the Festive Steampunk Polar Bears and added them on foam tape. I edged the backgrounds with silver paint and matted them onto black card.
These will make 2 card toppers if I need extra ones this season.

An altered notebook cover:






I painted my Kraft notebook with Dina Wakley black paint. I used alcohol inks and Yupo paper to make the colourful background. I never seem to get this technique right and find it extremely messy, so I want to tidy up and put everything away before I've given it a real chance. Anyhow, I was quite pleased with this one. I added a Wandering Wolf image to a black die cut mat and adhered it to the Yupo paper. Die cut borders were adhere to the top and bottom edges and metal looking embellishment were added to the left and right edges. I used alpha stickers for the 'notes'. It's really bright and colourful in real life.
