Tis the Season

Hello creative friends.

I am sharing a new mixed media Christmas 

project as Design Team member for 13arts 

using paper from the CHRISTMAS STORIES 

collection as well as some of my favourite 

13arts mixed media products 

and mediums.

I prepared the wooden panel by first painting it 

with white gesso.  I then applied gel medium 

along the edges before adding Rusty Bronze 

powder to the medium and then applying the 

rust reagent to the powder to allow the rust to form.

Once these products had dried, I mixed 

Texture Powder with white gesso and applied this 

medium onto the wooden panel, over some of the 

rust and allowed this to dry so that the 

cracks would form.

The little chipboard houses and trees were painted 

with brown as well as black watercolour powder 

paint diluted with water.

I also added some of the diluted black 

powder to the crackle paste on the wooden panel.

Chipboard pieces were painted with white acrylic 

ink.  I gave everything on my project a light 

dusting of white gesso and then, once dry, 

some pieces were lightly painted with 

gold glitter ink.

I hope that you all have a blessed Christmas.
