Time to start facing up to the fact that Christmas is fast approaching. Here's something I've made to help keep track of the days using Tando Creative's Christmas Countdown Frame.
Grunge paste was added to the front panel using Tando's Grid Moroccan mask. When dry all of the pieces were painted with gesso and then Fresco Finish paints. The raised paste was highlighted with Treasure Gold. The edges were thickly embossed with Frantage embossing enamel and more was sprinkled over the frame to add extra sparkle. For a little extra shimmer the stockings were speckled with Prima Color Bloom Spray Mist. The pieces glued together easily with Cosmic Shimmer glue.
As my sister is crazy about Christmas and this is a gift for her, the stockings are all double sided enabling her to start her countdown on 16th September with 99 days to go!
I'm entering this in to Tando's Creative Challenge for November 'Something with a Use'...a very specific use!
Thank you for looking xx
