Holly Jolly Star by Tania Ridgwell

 Hi there!
Tania joining you today to share a bonus DT project for December.  
I have altered a Wooden Star for  Christmas.


2 Crafty Chipboard Used:

*Merry Christmas with Holly Branch
*Corner Thick Vine
*Poinsettia Set
*Foliage Set 18


I have used the gorgeous Mintay 'Holly Jolly' Collection to create the base for my star.


To colour my Merry Christmas chippie I painted on some Dylusions Dirty Martini onto the leaves, I painted Kaiser Red Iridescent Spray onto the berries and once it was dry I sprayed the whole piece with Kaiser Gold Shimmer Spray.  The Corner Thick Vine chippie was coloured with Chopped Pesto Dylusions Spray and once dry I dabbed on some Kaiser Gold Shimmer Spray.  The Poinsettia chippie I coloured with a mixture of Kaiser Red Iridescent & Gold Shimmer Sprays.  The Foliage chippies were first given a coat of gesso and then coloured with a mixture of Kaiser Red Iridescent & Gold Shimmer Sprays.


I decorated the star using fussy cut elements from the Holly Jolly Collection, added some coordinating paper blooms.  I tucked in the Corner Vine & Foliage Chippies amongst the fussy cut elements.  Added the Poinsettia chippie to the top left of my star and finished off by adding the Merry Christmas Title chippie.


Thats' all from me today, I hope I have inspired you all a little with my Christmas Star.
  Until next time thanks so much for stopping by.
