Vintage Winter Wonderland Canvas-Guest Designer For Frilly and Funkie

Welcome friends and visitors! I'm so honored to be crafting along side the talented Design Team at Frilly and Funkie as their Guest Designer after winning the 'Bountiful Harvest' challenge in November. Today I am sharing a canvas for the current challenge theme 'Winter Hues''  chosen by the talented Suzz.

Winter time brings such a beautiful mix of colors. This challenge requires you use any or all of the following colors:blue, white, silver, gray in your vintage or shabby chic project.

I started by adhering Tissue Wrap on my 3 1/2 x 5 canvas using Multi Matte Medium and wrinkling it up a bit. When dry, I trimmed the excess tissue and painted the surface with various Distress paints in blues and Picket Fence. While still wet, I added a sheet of Saran Wrap (plastic food wrap) and wrinkled that up. I set it aside to dry overnight. The photo below shows what it looked like after removing the plastic wrap.

I sprayed with Picket Fence Distress spray  and Perfect Pearl mist and wiped it back, resulting in this toned down shimmery surface.

I stamped some trees from the Woodland Scribble set in the background using Jet Black Archival ink, some with Picket Fence ink and some embossed with Emerald Creek Soft Fallen Snow embossing powder.  I stamped and embossed the cabin from Holiday Drawings on Plain Tissue Wrap, using Versamark ink and Watering Can and Soft Fallen Snow embossing powders, tore it out and adhered it to the surface with Multi Matte medium. 

Splattering on Picket Fence paint and adding Remnant Rubs add to the snowy atmosphere.

 

You can see in the photo below and on the finished canvas that blending some paints around the tissue edges blends this into the background. I also highlighted the windows with Fossilized Amber Distress ink and my water pen.

Distress Crazing medium was added and allowed to dry and Distress Crayon rubbed into the cracks around the edges and randomly over the canvas. I mixed crushed glass glitter with Multi Matte medium and wiped it on with my finger to finish it off. You might notice the tree inked in Picket Fence, but not heat embossed disappeared when I added the crazing! Oops!

The crazing looks great around the edges to give this a real aged look.

I took a few photos outdoors when the sun finally came out.

Most of the products I used can be found at The Funkie Junkie Boutique:
