Christmas Baubles card

I'm finishing up Christmas week and I've made another card:

I painted 3 baubles from the ~{Small Bag of Baubles}~ with acrylic paint, blending to create shading. Once dry, I doodled the borders, added Glossy Accents and stuck some tinsel around the middle. Once this was dry I added some highlights using white pen.

They have been stuck to the card on top of a snowflake swirl stamp and a greeting stamp added. 

If you don't count the drying time (which I don't) it's a quick and simple card!

Celebrate with Baubles

I've done another Christmas card for this week's theme - I've now made a grand total of 9 this year!! Whoo me! I've played some more with the gorgeous baubles:

I've painted some of the baubles from the ~{Bag of Baubles,Small}~ with white acrylic paint then clear embossed some stamp designs. Then I've inked the baubles, let it soak in for a while and then wiped it from the embossing. If you use this method to decorate them, you will need dark ink as the white paint soaks it up!

Again, as usual for me lately, it's another quick and easy make, finished off with some wired tinsel and a greeting.

Paint Effects ~ Crackled Baubles

I'm the last one to show paint effects for this week's theme and I've gone for crackle effect baubles:

I took 3 of the baubles from the ~{Small Baubles Bag}~ (these are also available in a larger size and in the Mini Range) and painted them with Fresco paint. Once dry I added a very thin layer of Paperartsy Crackle and when dry, another layer of Fresco paint. It gave me some really tiny crackles which I love.

I inked up the edges of the baubles then put a tiny amount of Glossy Accents on them before adding some contrasting glitter. I've attached some snowflake charms with Glossy Accents and filled the centres with it and glitter before finishing off with doodles and a greeting.

Nice and simple and best of all, quick. I call it quick if I can do something and leave it, so I don't class waiting for the GA to dry as time!!!! ;)
