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.

Christmas Wreath by Tania Ridgwell

Hi there!

Tania joining you today to share my second project for December. 
I have a Christmas Wreath for my second share.

2 Crafty Chipboard Used:

*Poinsettia Set

*Merry Christmas with Holly Branch

*Swirl 1

I have used a White Washed Wreath that I had in my stash to create this project.

I coloured the Merry Christmas with Holly Branch chippie title with Heidi Swapp Sweet Cherry Color Shine spray and once dry I added some Golden Glow Opal Polish to it.  The Poinsettia chippies have been coloured with Golden Glow Opal Polish and once dry I dabbed some of the Sweet Cherry Color Shine spray to the middles of each.  Once again when they were dry I add some Chartreuse Color Shine spray to the centres.   I coloured the Swirl chippies with Golden Glow Opal Polish and once these were dry I randomly dabbed on the Chartreuse Colour Shine Spray on them.

I added the Merry Christmas chippie title to the bottom centre of the wreath and then added the Poinsettia chippies randomly around the wreath.  I then added lots of paper blooms in amongst the chippie pieces.  I tucked in the Swirl chippies amongst the paper blooms.

To finish off my wreath I randomly sponged on some gesso on the flowers and chippies to give it a snow like effect.

Thats' all from me today,  I hope I have inspired you all a little with my Christmas Wreath.  I would like to thank everyone for all your support and comments you have given me over the last year.  Wishing you all a very MERRY CHRISTMAS & SAFE AND HAPPY NEW YEAR

Until next time thanks so much for stopping by.
