We are celebrating Christmas Mixed Media Style
for our December Challenge at
I always enjoy making my Christmas Mixed Media Project
as part of my Christmas decorations.
This was made a few weeks ago as it needed to be
uploaded before I went on a short holiday.
I managed to take a few photos so here goes -
Started with a 5inch/5inch piece of canvas gesso-ed and
attached to cardboard for stability.
CUTploraions Die cut deer has texture paste
and trees with sand grit paste to resemble snow.
Background is a mix of mainly Lindy's Magical colours with the
ARTplorations tree stencil using Metallic White Texture Paste.
adding the ARTplorations deer stencil image to background.
Adhered cheescloth then
inked up the deer and trees with Lindy's Magical's and
in the process I knocked over the Black Orchid Silver,
luckily the lid was on slightly but I now have some
very colourful cloth wipes to use at a later date.
(the backing for the main photo is one of them)

Added translucent crackle paste to the deer
and added colour with Tim's Vintage Photo

sand grit paste inked with
Lindy's Black Orchid Silver. Added a secomd red one

Glued the leaves and added Cherry Red Cosmic Shimmer
to the centre of the poinsettia.
More sand grit paste added to the back of the trees
for more snow and around the edges.
