This journal page is for my mate, Stamperrobin's fun Free for All challenge. After seeing the challenge sample cards, you have probably guessed that Robin, Francie and I are "everything but the kitchen sink" kinda girls.
The background was made using the "Cling Wrap" technique found in the SCS Tutorial section, with a few changes to the ingredients. I used Brusho powder as the colour medium and Ironing Spray Starch instead of water (which my sweet sistah from anudder mudder told me about).
Ironing spray (just an el cheapo version of Fabulon) is lovely sprayed on Distress Inks, Dylusions Ink Spray and Brusho's, instead of water. The mist is super fine and not as wet as water.
The image is a digi by Vera Lane, she comes with 5 ugly Christmas jumpers. I love ugly Christmas jumpers but we never get to wear them here, last Christmas day the temp hit 109F.
The girls legs and boots are homemade and I changed their hairstyle a bit. The girls have been fussy cut and added to the background after I stamped on some branches and added liquid pearl drops.
Thanks so much for looking, I hope you get some crafty time and join in.

Oh my, sis, I hadn't seen this one before! What a riot, and these gals are fabulous! Love your coloring and how you've constructed it all...you are amazing and such a delight! Yes, we don't have cold winters (perhaps a bit chilly sometimes), so I'm with you about warm, wooly clothing at Christmas...haha! But we love it! And I love this card...and you to bits!! Squishies!! xoxo
