Merry Christmas - Mixed media star for Dusty Attic

Hello Sweeties,

Today, I'm up on Dusty Attic blog with another Xmas home decor. I used the amazing December color combo.

Here is the beautiful December color combo

I colored a large piece of watercolor paper with different inks in burgundy, pale pink and black. I used this paper to cover a MDF star that I have brought a few year ago in a dollar store and completely forget about it. It was perfect for the project I had in mind. 

Next I added a design with a stencil and modeling paste. I sprinkled with a coral embossing powder while the paste was still wait and heat embossed. I replaced the stencil at the same places and entended the pattern with a brass wax. 

As usual, I primed all the chipboard with white gesso before I colored them. I embossed the Vintage Frame #4 with a copper EP. I embossed the Christmas Berries #1 with a burgundy EP and the berries of the Mistletoe #2 with the coral EP I've used previously. 

I painted the Foliage #11 and the Pine Sprig  #2 with black liquid acrylic, then I added the brass wax. For the Foliage #27 and Mistletoe #2, I used a brown liquid acrylic. I glued all my elements with 3D gel and I added a few flowers and a small bird.

To finish, I added glitter.

Xmas Bauble - Home decor for Dusty Attic DT

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on Dusty attic blog with a new Xmas home decor. This time I worked with very traditional colors: green, red, and white. 

I primed the MDF with white gesso, then I added a design with a stencil and white crackle paste. 

I primed all the chipboard with white gesso. 

I painted the foliage #11, the Pine Sprig #2, Mistletoe #2 and the Holly # for with a green liquid acrylic and a magical. I added more or less of the Magical to intensify the color. 

I wanted the Salsa flower to be really red, so I colored it with a red Magical that I used also to color the berries of the Holly #4. For the berries of the Mistletoe I simply used white gesso. 

I added some green paint on the background.

To finish, I added some glitter.

Happy Mind. Happy life - Mixed media panel for 49 and Market

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on 49 and Market blog with a new mixed media panel. I decided to create a vintage Xmas layout. For this, I chose to work with the Vintage Artistry Serenity collection..

I cut the Subtleties paper to the size of my canvas panel which is 10"x10". I inked the edges of the panel before I glued the piece. I covered it with clear gesso, then inked the edges as well to give a distressed look to the paper. Next, I added a design with a stencil and modeling paste. 

I selected some Remnants pieces to add under the photo. I added a piece of cardboard between each Remnants to give volume to the set. 

In between, I added a few Laser Cut Elements and Ephemera bits like the frame, and some Hickory Tickets.
I cut a piece of filmstrip which I added on top of the photo. I love the result. What do you think? 

I selected the roses from the Salt Nature's Bounty set and a few Salt Florets. I inked them lightly to give them a vintage look. I chose some Laser Cut Elements leaves as well. 

I selected a few sentiments from the Ephemera Bits for the title. To finish, I added glitter.

Bird House - Home decor for Lindy's Gang

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on Lindy's Gang blog with a Xmas home deco.

I primed an MDF birdhouse with white gesso. Then I added a design with a stencil and Jewel Crushed Crystal paste. 

I colored two pieces of paper. I used Peony Scarlet Red, Sweet Violet Purple Teal, and Jazzy Jivin' Purple for the first. For the second, I used Lucious Lime and Alien Go Green. I die-cut some poinsettias in both papers.

I die-cut some pine branches that I colored with the previous green inks and Green with Envy Green. 

I shape all the poinsettias and leaves. Next, I added white gold wax to the edges of the poinsettias and the pine branches.

When everything was glued, I colored the background with Ponderosa Pines Olive and Lucious Lime.

To finish, I added the bird.

I hope you will enjoy the video
