I love making mixed media canvas collages......and as I've never made a wintery one.....what better time than this.
I started by covering my canvas with scraps of 'wintery' papers
These were then toned down a bit with a mix of white and pearl paint.
I then added some stamping.......more snowflakes,more circles and some sentiments.
I stamped,coloured,paper pieced and cut out a Prima doll.......added some glittered wings......and forgot to photograph her!!
She was added to the canvas along with a christmas tree [an unused tree decoration,I think]......and a bit more [photographically invisible!!] glimmer dust was shaken over the background.It really is much more sparkly in 'real life'.
Voila.....the end result.
