Mixed Media, Christmas Star

love my Christmas star, 

all products from Thompsonscraftsupplies

using the Home for christmas papers from mintay 

creative embellishments holly wreath 

rustic paint ruby 

cheesecloth

firstly i gesso'd the edges of my star, i cut out my backing paper making it slightly smaller than the star , i distressed the edges with scissors, then using a journaling pen and the rustic paint (ruby) also using the ruby i stenciled on the stars onto my backing paper.

i painted my wreath with the rustic paint , placed some cheesecloth in a circle on the star then mounted the wreath using 3d foam pads and gel paste as my glue.              

i then did a lot of fussy cutting from the home for Christmas element sheet that comes withing the paper pack, this was all mounted to create height using 3d foam pads and gel paste, all overlapping, i then added my title which is from the Tim Holtz idiology chipboard Christmas quote chips.

i added some ribbon to add a bit more texture and as a hanger.

lastly i mixed some white paint with a little water and splattered.

Deck the Halls Mixed Media Tag

My first christmas mixed media project for this year,

 using my DT kit from Thompsons craft supplies plus other items from my stash which have also come from Louise  at TCS so your one stop shop.

oh and some ribbon from my huge ribbon stash!!

items used as in picture plus mdf tag, clear paste, gel medium as my glue, 3d foam pads , water spray bottle, gesso

firstly i gesso'd my tag and when dry i used the tree stencil and paste  with glitter through the stencil to create my back ground, i quickly gave that a dry and then played with the ink sprays and spray water moving the ink around to add the colour to my back ground, again i dried it .

 i then did some fussy cutting from the element sheet, using the 3d foam pads and  gel medium i added my cut pieces adding height .

i added my titles again using the 3d foam pads and gel medium to fix in place.

lastly i covered my titles and using the paint mixed with water i splattered a little.

Posh Pooch Doggy Toddler Dress

Just loved this doggy fabric but wanted to make something other than a bag or purse, it went lovely with the bright red.

 so  i had fun making this little girls dress, just need to find a little girl to wear it now.

added the little button flower and the ric rac ribbon on the hem, a lovely full skirted party dress.

just a simple dress pattern, i dont think you need a fussy pattern, let the fabrics add the detail.

Pumpkin Patch Scrapbook Layout.

Playing with clay and paint on this page, 

i made the pumpkins, leaves and acorns then painted them.

on the base of the page which is from the grungy wall set by 13arts from louise at 

Thompsons craft supplies 

i used a mixed media circle stencil and heavy body paste.

i mounted my photo onto some of the cork sheet from my recent kit, i then tore another sheet from the paper range a big bigger than my photo and mount, these are mounted using 3d foam gel and 3d gel glue to give them a bit of height off the page, i then arranged my pumpkins, acorns and leaves on the page, mixing in some paper leaves as well, all using the 3d gel medium.

i took my title from a Tim Holtz phrase book and mounted them onto card and arranged using 3d foam pads.

i covered my title and photo and then splattered using some watered down bronze paint.
