Xmas Dress - for Lindy's Gang DT

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on Lindy's Gang blog with a little decoration for Christmas: a dress form.

Color Guidelines: Red - Grey - Dark Green
Challenge Ingredient = Holly

 I die cut some poinsettias, pine branches, and ferns in watercolor paper.

For the big ferns, I used Green with Envy Green. The delicate ferns were embossed with Slam Dunk Silver. And for the pine branches Ponderosa Olive Green. 

I colored the poinsettias with Rizzo Rowdy Red and Ponderosa Olive Green and added some silver pearls.

I waxed the dress form with Old Silver as well as a few Alder fruits. 

I glued all the die-cut and the alder fruits with hot glue. To finish, I added silver glitters.

Purple Lantern - Mixed media home decor for Finnabair

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm very excited to share with you my first project as Finnabair Brand Ambassador. The theme for this month is Purple. As Christmas is approaching very fast, I decided to alter this lantern that would decorate my table. 

First, I primed the lantern with white gesso as I need a base to which the white crackle paste will adhere. 

When the paste was dry, I glued all the embellishments with Heavy Body Gel. I primed them with white gesso and colored them with Purple liquid acrylic, Frozen Berries metallique paint, and Iris Potion Sparks. To add some depth to the composition, I added also some Raven Sparks.

I added a few Diamond pebbles, whose bottom I covered with Iris Potion Sparks. 

I added a design with the Gothic stencil and Crushed Ice Effect paste to the windows. When dry, I added here and there some silver metallic flakes on top of the Crushed Ice paste. 

To finish, I added some glitters.
