Christmas candle holder by Marietta Tegi

Hello Everyone!

Today I made a home decoration for you, which can be placed on the Christmas table with all the goodies. :)

First I applied white gesso to the candle holder, then I coated it with Finnabair Metallic Flakes. I used a green shade of liquid acrylic paint to soften the glitter and still give it a Christmas feel.

I used liquid acrylics for the mould elements, Burnt Sienna and True Yellow. 

I used Metallique Red Wine acrylic paint on the metal flowers, then white pearl and white gold wax.

I used other metal elements to create the composition: Winter Trinkets, Mini Stars, Woodland Ferns and Rusty Labels.

As a last step, I added some granular decorative elements.

I wish you all a Merry Christmas!

Hugs

ATC set by Asia Szczurowska

 

I like ATCs very much. I really like the idea that I can trade cards with other artists. They're not big, so they don't take up much space. Just great.

I created mixed-media ATCs. They have so many layers that you can't fit them in an album, but I have a special box for such cards😊

How did I make them?

I covered the HDF bases with black gesso and glued small metallic flakes on the edge.

On the watercolour paper (which was smaller than ATC size) I used liquid acrylic, stamps, rub-ons and icing paste.

Then I chose some metal elements, chipboards and casts and covered them with black gesso, metallic paints and waxes.

At the end, I glued everything together.

Fearless by Lanette Erickson

Hello, All you Amazing Creative People,

Today, I am sharing a small altered wooden plaque. When I am creating a small project I like to try new techniques, color combinations or even product combinations. For this project, I wanted to try a  mix of Rust & Sparkle, not your everyday combination. However, I think they came together nicely. 

Thank you so much for stopping by today!  I hope I have inspired you in some small way to spend some creative time in your art space.

Until next time, Hugs & Have Fun Creating!

Lanette
