Christmas Plaque in Mixed Media.

Hello Folks.  I  found a little time to do some crafting and thought I would create a plaque in textures.   This started out as a piece of mount board that I gessoed up  a while ago.   So using Deco-art chalk paint and crackle paint I made a start and this is how it turned out.  using Tim Holtz Festive stencil and texture paste  I made a start. The Poinsettias were made from TH die and the lovely reindeer too.   I left it for a day or two as I had no idea where it was going.  So I added trees and the winter sentiment,  added some holly and pine branches with a pine and berries. The 25 was an afterthought and I finished it off with textured snow and glitter.   It really does look nicer in reality though as the daylight has been rubbish in the last few days.   I am now on my last Aran Jumper, so hopefully I get it finished for Christmas.    Take Care as the weather is about to change according to the forecasts.   Hugs Rita xxxxx

This is absolutely gorgeous and turned out beautifully. Often starting projects with no planned ideas end up being the best ones as they evolve as we go. I love this, the texture, colours and all the elements that you have included.

Gorgeous and beautifully festive Rita. I just wish they would invent a camera that picks up glitter, but I can imagine this will sparkle beautifully in your home.
