Christmas Decor Galore 8


And finally the time has come for our Christmas Tree decorations.
This is a wooden bauble, decorated with napkin, some holo glitter, red and white cord and a sequin bow.


On the reverse I used a napkin with vintage angels, gold structure paste from Lidl plus stencils and a sprinkle of  gold glitter.

This board is sort of office-appropriate.
I used blue paint, printable image from PicMonkey for transfer, wooden stars, perlen pen, cameleon paste for blue sheen.

Christmas Decor Galore 5




This Christmas board was grabbed by Mr. Hubby as soon as he saw it. Its minimalistic style appealed to his taste and also matched the design of his studio. 
This is a double-sided wooden board with 2 urban winter scenes revealing no religious persuasion. 
For the first one I used only a napkin, glue, acrylic paint, crackle varnish and antique paste to fill in the cracks.


For the reverse I used a napkin, crackle varnish, stencils and acrylic paint, structural paste and a sprinkle of glitter in the windows.

And yet another X-mas wooden plaque, this one is double sided. 
One side is a Christmas fair napkin plus stencils and glitter, stencils and structural paste, acrylic palin to blend the edges, crackle varnish+ Korean eye pigment to fill on the cracks.


And on the reverse I used a napkin, snow paste, a combination of matte and high shine varnish for a 3D effect plus a sprinkle of glitter here and there. 

This was grabbed by my friend Kasia and flew away to London.

Christmas decor galore 3


These two little birdies caused a minor discord during a 'family fair' during which I offered my works to the family members. The Great Grandma fancied the same ornament as my mother-in-law and one of them had to let it go. So I produced more than two not-so-identical  replicas to keep everyone satisfied.

Products used:
wooden board
napkin
matte varnish
white and taupe paint
stencils
glue
glitter


And here's the reverse

Christmas decor galore 2


This is a plaque that was so popular among my family members that it was copied for a number of more or less similar replicas. I adore those charming tits sitting on frozen boughs. It looks like one of those postcards my grandma used to get from her friends living in the better, brighter western world.

Materials used:
acrylic paint
crackle varnish
napkin
stencils 
glitter
transfer medium
Mod Podge Dimensional Magic
clear, satin varnish
