Day 5 Catch the Bug week Long Christmas in July




Good Day

There is a new technique challenge - mix media - at the JUGS and you can find the tutorial here. Unfortunately I only had a Pine Needles green and Weathered Wood grey/blue, Distress ink and I used a Buff Titanium (cream) base acrylic paint. It came out a bit like a bad weather day. That gave the inspiration for the sentiment. As contrast I used Buried Santa from Bugaboo and tried to create a tropical scene in the right corner. For the most of you, Christmas is associated with snow, grey skies and cold weather. Where I stay we celebrate Christmas in the middle of our Summer holidays, though we had bad weather too, from time too time. 

Challenges I'm joining:
JUGS #197 - Mix Media technique
Catch the Bug Day 5 - Humorist Christmas
Anything goes #97 - Anything goes

Thank you
Olga

Olga - I think this is the cutest - I am sure Santa would love to relax on his own little island in the sun on Dec 25th!
Thanks for entering our Christmas in July event, good luck in the draw!
