Magic Winter Time

Welcome friends!

Recently we have made a beautiful winter trip in the mountains 'Harz'.  

Snow and ice magically transformed the landscape into a winter fairy tale.

... and then we discovered a beautiful castle that looks like

 it was torn right from the pages of a storybook. 

I choose for my mixed media layout the ”Sparkle” paper 

from the Maja Design ”Joyous Winterdays” collection.

  more details here 

 I started as always by applying a coat of clear gesso on the background and then I cut out a handmade half moon from a white structure paper. I painted the moon with some watercolors and a little bit glitter paint and some deco stars for a magical effect. 

It was a good background for a Dusty Attic chipboard and 

some winter trees made with cutting dies.

and  some another close up's

a small cluster in the upper left corner 

  snow texture and glitter paints for some dreamy winter impressions

another bigger cluster made with frosted roses,
 silver winter berries, feathers and laces

I framed the cut out photo with a chipboard and used the moon as magical background.

  I colored the flourish frame with white acrylic paint only on some places and white embossing powder to match to a wintry layout.  

  a wooden tree disc, snow paint and some paper leftovers

and a beautiful saying on a tag as addition and memory on a wonderful day

 used Maja Design papers from the 'Joyous Winterdays' collection

Many thanks for your visit

and I hope I could inspire you to create your very own, amazing idea.
