Hi everyone, it's Vicki here today and I am sharing my very first layout using the Christmas collection - Oh What Fun which is available now at your favourite retailer.

I started by cutting strips from the reverse of the Snow Globe paper to create a Christmas tree shape. Once I was happy with the position, I made some pencil marks on my background cardstock and gessoed the whole page. Using the Sky Blue and Aquamarine liquid watercolours, I created a loose triangle shape to match the tree. I then put the paper strips back on the page and sewed them with my sewing machine.

I then splattered the page using watered down white acrylic paint to look like snow. My idea was for my photo be be one of the gifts under the tree, so I cut out some boxes from the Christmas Gifts paper and layered them together with my photo at the bottom of the tree.
