Holly Jolly Day by ELAINE KING

Draw a crescent shape on the Diamond white card stock.

Using the Festive Berries Tim Holtz Distress Oxide ink, use the packaging technique, as demonstrated in my video,  and dab around the crescent shape. When dried, choose where you want the photo to sit then mount it on the dark green card. 

Next, start arranging  your chosen fussy cut elements from the Christmas Dreams Anticipation paper and add ephemera from the extra Creative Cuts pack. I used different dimensions of foam tape for added heights and depths and chose florals,tickets and gnomes/gonks. I also added a film strip from the 49 & Market Everywhere Filmstrip Frames set in amongst the clusters.

Leave some of the more ‘pointy elements’, like leaves, to place at the end of the crescent to define the shape.

Add the title of your choice and embellish with stickers from the Bo Bunny Brighton sticker book, and 49 & Market Wishing Bubbles and Baubles Christmas Spectacular.

Finally, cover your photo and splatter with white acrylic paint.
