The challenge on Tag Tuesday for the rest of 2017 is Christmas Memories. I can vividly remember Boxing Day walks on Cannock Chase with the family every year as a child, so my tag reflects this.

Paper Weaving as a Background
For the background to this I was inspired by an art journal layout by France Papillon in the March 2014 edition of Craft Stamper Magazine. I decided to use the technique to create the paper weaving but as a full background rather than just sections of the page as in the original version.
I started with 2 x A5 pieces of white card and lightly blended Vintage Photo distress ink all over one and Peacock Feathers all over the other. I then used the same ink to lay down some darker sections through stencils (Tim Holtz - Bubble (THS002) and Harlequin (THS016) layering stencils). I added some Black Soot distress ink through a Prima Crackle stencil (#564247) onto the brown piece and also a little at the edge. A very light mist with water in some places on both to add further texture, a dab with some kitchen towel and I was ready to start the fun part!
