A few (more) minutes of fun - with mixed media winter backgrounds

[@trudimiler3675]

Absolutely beautiful,can see myself watching again later and playing along with you xxx

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

Excellent - that would be lovely to have a remote crafting session!! Thanks so much for your company on this creative journey.

[@ayleybridges8942]

Absolutely wondrous! I've got to put those star stencils on my wishlist. You can't go wrong with stars or with snowflakes. Thank you so much for this inspirational creative art experience! 💯

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

They are both great stencils - I can never decide which is my favourite! So happy you enjoyed the winter sparkle, and I hope you'll be inspired to have your own few minutes of fun very soon. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.

[@karinwatson4985]

Beautiful tags and so many different techniques! Absolutely lovely!

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

Very happy you enjoyed the fun... thank you so much for watching and for your lovely comment.

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Thank you so much Alison I really really enjoyed watching you create all those glorious tags. They would make a great card topper. I absolutely love ❤❤❤❤ them all. Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags ❤❤❤❤

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

Yes, indeed - easy enough to add them to a pre-folded card with some design papers in between, and you're done! Happy you enjoyed the wintery backgrounds. Thanks for your company on this creative journey.

[@DeeFay-fl1hs]

Thoroughly enjoyed watching these tags come to life, especially the birch trees and your blending. I was shouting - the ink isn’t dry yet! 😮😊

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

Pity I couldn't hear you!! Ah well, I think it's useful to see that a "mistake" sometimes opens up a new creative pathway... It's not the first time I've forgotten about wet ink when embossing, and I'm sure it won't be the last! Thanks so much for watching and for your lovely comment.

[@cheryl7476]

By coincidence, I was planning on making tree and starry backgrounds today, and you’ve given me ideas of different mediums to try for the stars and trees. Thanks, Alison for furthering my enthusiasm to play and experiment.

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

Excellent - hope you'll have a sparkly starry time. More trees coming soon! Thanks so much for your company and have fun playing.

[@patriciacampillo-eu3ex]

Great tips..BEAUTIFUL

[@Quill._]

So much inspiration. Thank you Alison.

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

You're very welcome! Hope you'll enjoy your own few minutes of fun very soon. Thanks so much for watching and commenting.

[@pays1zebu]

As always superb color choices for an incredible result. Yes, yes I said before the video: "ink, ink it is not dry ! attention !"😂 Merci for this video 💙💜💙

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

Merci beaucoup pour cela... it's a shame I couldn't hear you!! But maybe it's good to show people that you can make a mistake and it's not the end of the world. So happy you enjoyed the fun as well as the errors! Thank you for your company on this creative journey.

[@HeleneKaut]

So pretty and inspiring! Love watching the “happy accidents” and how quickly you pivoted. Thanks kindly for sharing these lovely cards Alison ❤️🇨🇦

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

I always love a happy accident... I like to go on those unexpected journeys! Very happy you enjoyed it, and I hope you'll be inspired to have your own few minutes of fun very soon.

[@diowen2904]

So inspiring and has that winter sparkle. The birch tree detailing is really helpful thank you 😊

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

Very happy you enjoyed the frosty sparkle - thank you for watching and commenting.

[@BootsOnTheGround1221]

So obsessed with your style, your channel! 🌹

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

That's great to hear - thanks so much for that lovely feedback.

[@kristinaperinot7544]

Thanks so much 😊 GREAT video. ❤ your tags

[@Planty1986]

I’m so glad I’ve just found you! I’ve only recently got into stamping and journaling after too long away from my creative side and your style speaks to my heart, your work is incredibly beautiful and your videos are so therapeutic and helpful. Thank you !! ❤

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

Oh, what a beautiful comment to read... thank you so much for those lovely words. I'm glad to hear that you have found your way back to some creative playtime, and delighted that you are finding inspiration and joy here on the channel. Welcome!

[@ellief3177]

I really enjoyed watching these beautiful winter landscapes/skyscapes coming to life. It's good to see how to rescue things too - we've all been there! (I know you're not a big fan of gilding wax, but some silver gilding wax would also look lovely on the stars). I liked the idea of the stamped 'snow' behind the trees which looks so magical. Thank you.

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

Thank you - I've got nothing against a little bit of gilding, but it's definitely a seasonal thing for me... at this time of year, it's almost bound to turn up at some point! Very happy you enjoyed the wintry backgrounds - next steps on some of these will be coming soon! Have a great week.

[@christinewerner6207]

Stellar. That was absolutely stellar. Pun intended! 🌟🌟🌟 You make it all look so easy and effortless. You are amazingly talented. 💫 Considering I am in the process of moving across the country to a home in the middle of 3 1/2 acres of forest, the birch tags really spoke to me. I enjoyed every moment of this video Cousin Alison. Train whistle and all. Thank you so much! ❄️❄️❄️ 🌲🌲🌲 ⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

I'm so happy you enjoyed it... as you saw, as long as you're taking everything as playtime, then "mistakes" can often open up new creative pathways - I think that's part of what makes it look "easy" - if it's playtime, it should be effortless! Good luck with the rest of the move. What a joy to be moving into a forested area! Have a great week.

[@conniebartch9656]

Beautiful! Loved watching you create such beautiful tags! TFS ❤

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

So happy to hear that, thank you. I hope you'll be inspired to have a few minutes of fun of your own very soon.

[@bonnerdebbie]

Thanks Alison, that was so much fun to watch. Beautiful tags, every one of them. I have been trying to distract myself from pain since 1:30 this morning and this helped SO much. Thanks again for the wonderful video! I hope you have a super weekend.

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

Oh dear - happy to be of some small help in pain management. I'm happy the frosty sparkle provided a bit of distraction. Hope your weekend gets better from here.

[@ValTwineDeaner]

Hi Alison, I love your tags they're amazing. I'm going to have a play around tomorrow and see if I can achieve stages as beautiful as yours. I love the way to sometimes make mistakes, but very quickly right them and show that mistakes can actually be a blessing. I could watch your tutorials all day long. You have such a wonderful way with words too - very poetic. You got me singing "A whiter shade of pale", which is great because I love that song. Take care, and enjoy the rest of your weekend. xx❤❤😊😊

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

Oh, it's a wonderful song, isn't it? That's an "earworm" I don't mind passing on!! Thank you so much for your lovely comment - I'm delighted you are enjoying both the words and pictures here. And yes, I think it's really valuable to see that a "mistake" doesn't have to be a disaster... it's just a way to open up a new creative path. Hope you are having fun playing today, and have a good week.

[@juliemonroe105]

Hi Alison, these tags are so dreamy & beautiful. You really know how to inspire. Thank you.

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

Oh, thank you so much for that lovely comment - I'm so pleased you found some inspiration here.

[@theeclecticnest5343]

I'm so glad you made that mistake with the distress inks not being dry. I wouldn't have known!

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

Much better to actually see it happen, right? I can't promise you won't forget... that's not my first time doing it, and I still forget!! Thanks so much for stopping by and for your comment.

[@Dawn-fz5cu]

These are glorious!! Thank you for the inspiration! 💗

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

You're very welcome - I hope you'll have your own few minutes of fun soon. Thank you for watching and commenting.

[@lozzytcrafting]

Absolutely stunning. Love your work and videos x

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

[@juliepepperman]

Wow! Beautiful!

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

Happy you like them, thank you!

[@elaineatthecraftshed1993]

Beautiful colour palette. Really enjoyed your tags and look forward to seeing how you used them. I have your winter words stamps and I would definitely add those to any I make. Thank you for the inspiration 😊

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

Yes, I plan to get the winter words involved somewhere along the line... and maybe the festive Minis from last year. Though that might be with some other backgrounds rather than these. Very happy you enjoyed today's fun. Thank you for watching and for your lovely comment.

[@hankejoosen4029]

[@brownbabycraftaholic]

As always your work is so beautiful and the videos are relaxing. Also, thanks for the reminder of some of these stencils, I keep forgetting to get them. TFS 🙂 Hugs ~Steff~ 🤎

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

So happy you enjoyed the fun, thank you! Happy to provide a reminder... sometimes I can go months without using stencils at all, and then I suddenly remember how useful and fun they are. It's the blessing and the curse of having lots of toys to play with in the craft room!! Happy Sunday to you, Steff!

[@brownbabycraftaholic]

@ Totally agree with all you said as I do have this same experience 😆 Happy Sunday to you too my friend 🥰🤎

[@veggiemom5]

Gorgeous. Any chance a winter version of your tissue paper is on the horizon?

[@nathalieheath5693]

Yessssss❤

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

Thank you - time for some frosty sparkle!

[@jodyperyk1978]

Love your ideas, thank you for sharing your creativity. What was that small journal you showed in the beginning?

[@w0rdsandp1ctures]

Happy you enjoyed the video, thank you. It's the small Moleskine sketchbook, 14 x 9cm (about 5.5 x 3.5 inches).

[@taylormadejournals9662]
