Happy Holidays Home Decor - Mixed Media

Lots and lots of fussy cutting and layering  ..... and here we are!!!!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!

I had a huge package of poinsettias (from Hobby Lobby) that I bought years ago and I have used them on several projects. I finally used of the last of them with this creativity.

While some of the layers were pre-made poinsettias, I did fussy cut a lot from Graphic 45's 12 Days of Christmas to fill out this piece. I especially love the birds.

I didn't want this piece to be overwhelmed with texture, so I just used crackle paste only as the primary texture. I let that dry overnight and then added colors, followed by the art stones and glitter.

The green and red beads were found at a yard sale!!! But really, this piece is just lots of layers using Graphic 45, poinsettias, pinecones and beads.

Thanks for stopping by today!!

Joy - Home Decor - Lindy's December challenge

Hello!! Inspiration can be found many ways. You can find it from an entire project, a technique, a color scheme, or even a cluster of flowers.

I found my inspiration from here, created by Nuneka. I also found inspiration simply from Lindy's December color challenge.

Isn't it stunning?!

These decor letters can be found at Hobby Lobby, all ready for you to make something fabulous. The base is covered with white gesso followed by crackle paste all over. The next day I then slowly added the blues: Tilt-A-Wheel Teal and Bavarian blue. Once I was satisfied, I added more texture using modeling paste, stencil and glitter. Once completely dry I sealed with matte gel and left overnight to dry.

Meanwhile, I made poinsettias from dies. This can either be rather relaxing or tedious, depending on how impatient you are. Once I got all the flowers, leaves and fillers cut out, I then added embossing powder to the leaves and fillers using Polka Purple, Madonna Robe Blue, and Merci Beaucoup Mint. The main poinsettias are inked with purple hydrangea chalk ink.

Personally, I think the hardest part in all this is the gluing. I spend several minutes after each project scrubbing my hands repeatedly. 

But it's ALL worth it cause I just LOVE how this turned out.
