Hello and welcome. I'm guest designing this month over at the Creative Artiste Mixed Media challenge blog. Let me say how thrilled I am to be guest designing for them. For my project this month, I decided to make an ornament for our Christmas tree using items from my stash I bought at Dollar Tree©, Michael's© a 1-2 years ago and hadn't used yet.
I started out by cleaning the clear ornament before adding some batting to the inside before adhering the child with snowball using Ranger glossy accents. Once I had that done, I then added the "pine trees" At this point, I decided to add some snow-tex paint directly onto the batting to help give it more texture. After painting, and adhering, a Dollar Tree© wooden snowman, I dug out the "mom with presents" and added her to my scene. While all of that dried, I added some snow-tex to the top of the ornament before adding a small foam bird I've had for years. A ribbon hanger, stickles and confetti "snow" finished my ornament off. My mixed media elements are: snow-tex, clear ornament, ribbon, bottle brush pine trees, figurines, stickles, batting, foam bird and confetti snow.
