A snowy bauble

 

Hi there! I thought I would show you today how I decorated this MDF bauble.

I began by painting the backpiece with gesso and the rim in gilt acrylic paint.

Whilst this dried I stamped sky terrace onto some shrink plastic and coloured it. On the frosted shrink plastic I thought by colouring it on the back with alcohol markers, it would show through, but it didn't once shrunk. I use stazon very rarely, but I find it is the least likely to smudge on shrink plastic

I shrunk it with my heat gun and added a bit of colour with coloured pencils

Next I used the horizon 2 skyline inkable to add some snowy hills with salty ocean distress oxide

I added glitter glue to the tops of the hills and some snow

I used gel medium to attach the house, the frame and some super chunky glittery snow stuff I found in my stash (no idea where it came from, sorry!) I think the stickles glitter gel might work well for this too.

finally I added some white pen around the frame

Here is another look at it.

A Snowflake bauble for Bee Crafty

                  

Hello there! It is Monday and time for another DT share for Bee Crafty. Today I made a Doodle Art Snowflake Bauble. 

I used:

Yuletide Doodle Art snowflakes (regular)

Versafine Clair ink

Ecoline brush pens

 A clear bauble (available from various craft shops like Hobbycraft, The Range and The Works)

Ribbon

Here is what I did:

 

I stamped the snowflake 3 times in versafine clair ink. You could use any ink that isn't water- based.

Next I coloured the snowflakes with the ecoline pens and cut them out.

I gently folded each of the snowflakes down the centre line and stuck the three together by two tips on each side.

 

If you want to go sparkly at this stage add glitter, glitter glue or use a sparkly pen. 

 

Once dry, place the snowflakes inside the bauble and put the two halves together. 

Add a bow and dangle from your Christmas tree! 

I do hope you like it! 

Thanks for looking and I hope your preparations for Christmas are going well!
