CHRISTMAS WREATH

"I will honour Christmas in my heart, 

and try to keep it all the year."

Charles Dickens

Hello dear crafters !  

A Big Thank You to dear Natassa, as she kindly invited me to be a Guest Designer this month at http://scrapsnpiecesgr.blogspot.com.  Their December moadboard is just magical and inspired me to create this beautiful Christmas wreath. Kindly invited to join us !

First I cat a star from a carton, stuck on it the moss and wrapped a wire around.  For highlighted the green color of the moss i spread on it Laurel green Lindy's Magical Powder  and Drink me silly Lindy's Shimmer Magical .

 On the edges of wreath star - outside and inside , I embossed with a embossing white powder to make a look of snow.

 

For Christmas, I always imagine a snowy village, because here in my town on the coast we don't have snow in winter, so I created a winter village in snow. Than I cut this beautiful houses out of the cardboard with cutting dies from V veseli vasici- Najlepši par.

First I painted the houses with white gesso, than applied texture cracle paste and at the end shake on them Red Lindy's Magical Powder. On the roofs I applied a paste that I mixed from various ingredients. Even I don't now what all I mixed, but when I was drying with hot gun it starts to grown. Wow !! I really like this !

I glued this magical little houses on a semicircular card with 3d self-adhesive pads  to make a winter village.

At the top of the wreath I made a Christmas bowl and added various beautiful decorations.  Not even two little metal angels are missed, as they bring peace and love in my village.

I enjoy creating with Mix Media tecniques and I always completely forget about the time. I usually used what I find in my studio, I like to add some natural things and also recycled or old accessories.  But most of all I love Lindy's products, because they are really magical like Christmas time.

I used Lindy's products :
