This is the hanging I made, when I hang it up on the wall, I will be adding some fresh holly around the wire.
It is just too soon to do that.
On the left is the wooded plaque I decided was long overdue
a make over.
a make over.
First a few coats of cream acrylic, a bit of random texture and some stencilling using the Tim Holtz Festive stencil.
I used Paper Artsy Fresco Finish paints Toad Hall and Vintage Lace for my base colours.
Adding Treasure Gold wax to the stencil and edges
.
The three panels were all made in the same way. Corrugated packaging, painted with Vintage Lace. Edged with Frantage embossing .
The poinsettia stamp is from the Stampers Anonymous Christmas Blueprint collection. Embossed using Ranger gold powder, then water coloured, with a few tiny glass beads in the centers.
I hope you will join us and give something a new purpose in life.
