Leaves and Frames

Hi!  It's Monday and the beginning of another theme.  This week we are mixing it up using leaves with frames (both Tando) .  Here is my contribution...

I have used one of the *PRINTER TRAYS* for my project and added a variety of leaves.  We have a lot of choice available for anyone who loves nature!  For my printer tray I chose the *LEAF FLOURISH* to go over the top edge. Them a few leaves from the *MINI LEAVES 3* and of course a tree from the *FIR TREES SET* .  They have all been painted in various greens and then had a thin layer of  *CRACKLE GLAZE* added. To add a bit more interest I have included some bits from a pine cone and some dry moss.

Thank you for taking a peek today, take care, Karen x

January Colour Theme

Hello and a Happy New Year from me!  For my 1st post of the year I am working with  this months colour theme.  After our lovely DT member Carol made a series with her colour themes last year I thought I would do something similar.  I am going to use the pretty *scalloped banner* every month.  Then I will end up with a lovely (hopefully) string to put up in my craft room.  Here is the 1st one...

As we are still in the throws of winter I have created a wintery scene using some *snowflakes* and a very pretty *fir tree*.  Just had to add a tassel :D

Thank you taking a look, Hugs , Karen xxx

A Winter's Morning

Hi guys, Liz here and this week as you know the theme is trees, I really like these fir trees which come in a set of three, they have their own little stands but I added them onto one of the mixed media boards for my project.
I thought it would make a lovely table decoration.

I started by adding some texture sand onto the trees stippling it on, this way some of the natural colour shows through for interest and  added texture, when this was drying I sprinkled some glamour dust (glitter) on to them, in real life they sparkle beautifully!!! honest,

I then took one of the media boards and added some of the Deco Art Modeling paste on, spreading it unevenly and leaving some parts a little thicker, I left the edge with out any so it could find it's own level as it dried for a more natural look too,

The Mini Reindeer's were painted with Deco Art silver fluid ink paint and the antlers have some stickles on them too, again these shine too, I fixed them onto the board with pieces of acetate then added some Finland moss from my stash for the woodland effect, I really wish you could see the sparkle they look really magical,

I hope you decide to join us and if you do just click on the link above,

Happy Crafting!!

Hugs Liz xx
