Once Upon A Time and Journal Pages



A huge Hello to all my blogging friends! OMG......awakened this morning to over 2" of SNOW............and more on the way for tomorrow!!!!! I tell ya, winter is not willing to release its grip this year....! It's been a while since I made a card.....I have another addiction now.....mixed media art!!! LOL

This cutie is Tilda with Corkscrews and she is colored with copics. The castle in the background is a Great Impressions stamp. I sprayed the entire image with gold glitter spray. Papers are Magnolia.


I am continuing my journal pages and this time I utilized the lovely Tim Holtz stamps I received from a dear friend. I am really enjoying this journey into mixed media art. It's messy, but so much fun! Don't really know what I'm doing yet, but I'm definitely enjoying it!

I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your support. I know it takes time to visit a blog and leave a comment, but I really do appreciate it so much. Big Hugs, Christina

    SNOW?!-WOW... We have everything in bloom, and only thing that looks like snow is a cherry blossom petals flying in the wind.
    I just read what you wrote in your profile:"
    Stamping is my obsession and I am not looking for a cure." I like that VERY much :)
    I like both works honey, they are different, and yet both have their own distinct personalities

    Very beautiful card Christina. I love the theme and am jealous that Tilda gets to travel, she looks like she is traveling Europe. I am sorry for the snow though. We are getting as much rain as your are snow. The only good thing is, we don't have to shovel it but it is just as depressing :(
    thanks for sharing.
    hugs and warm thoughts sent your way. Donna

    Hello Christina, Icould not wait to see what you had created when you told me this morning! WOW WOW WOW. I do love your card, love your coloring of this cute Tilda so much, and the spray treatment brings such a beautiful detail to your image. Very pretty to have the castle just stamped in black, I love this very much. Wonderful details too. And.... your journey brought you to Paris la ville lumière, and I do love the bright colors you used, it certainly translates the fun and the happiness always associated with paris. and I can feel how much fun you had when doing this! Sending sun from Montreall... while we have it LOL Hugs.

    Good morning my Sweet Christina! Oh goodness .. snow??? What in the world?! We're getting odd weather too here .. cold, hot, cold, hot .. our poor roses don't know what's going on. lol!

    Well, my goodness, you have been a busy girl creating lots of goodies! That Tilda is the cutest thing!!! Oh gosh how much I adore her and the way you've coloured her so softly! Plus all those beautiful embellies that you've decorated .. sigh .. GORGEOUS !!!

    Now your mixed media .. wow wow wow! You are just a natural at it! It looks like so much fun to be swishing all those colors all around, and adding textures and different vintagey things to it!! I love it!

    I hope you're having a beautiful day!

    Much Love,
    Elise

    Sweet Tilda card and a lot of lovely "mess" on your artjournal. I havent´t tried this kind of art yet, I´m to afraid to get sticky fingers :) Some day I will try it.
    We have got the same problem with the snow here in Oslo, this morning on the 13. of april the snow is still falling from the sky, and a lot of it too :(
