Antique Baubles Card by Fliss Goodwin
11:00
Hi
there, I have another Christmas card to share this week which features some of
the new MDF baubles that I wanted to make look like antique tree decorations
and indeed if you took these off the card and added some gold or silver thread,
you could hang them on the tree.
Ingredients:
That’s Crafty! Shimmer Paints – Pink, Dark Blue, Purple, Charcoal
That’s Crafty! Metallic Paints – Antique Gold, Antique Silver
Palette
Knife – I use the Ranger Black Palette Knife Set
Charcoal
Metallic Card
White
Square Card Blank
Recipe:
First
prepare your chosen baubles by spreading on a fairly thick layer of modelling
paste and then create a pattern on each one by drawing into the wet paste with
a skewer or a cocktail stick. I created diagonal stripes on one with dot detail
and wavy diagonal stripes on the other one, also adding a dot pattern. I added
a line across the top of each one where the looped cap would fit on an actual
bauble.
Once
the paste is dry, paint the stripes with the Antique Gold and Silver Metallic Paints and add Charcoal around the rims and the top loop for contrast. Set
these aside to dry whilst you make the background papers.
I
cut a piece of mixed media paper to fit my card blank then used the Poinsettia Tree stencil to add a pattern with the Dark Blue Shimmer paint. I added some Pink around the edges with my fingers. I die cut a further circle of the mixed
media paper and used the stencil with Pink and Purple Shimmer paints for a
lovely contrasting panel.
I
stamped the Christmas text from the stamp set on a scrap of mixed media paper
with embossing ink and heat embossed it with the gold powder. I then trimmed
around the text and cut the words out separately. I glued my background paper
onto a piece of charcoal metallic card (top tip – you could just go around the
edges with some Charcoal Sshimmer paint to create the contrast layer too) as I
have a load of this in my stash that needs using up!
Glue
the background panel to the card blank and add the circular panel in the
centre. Add the baubles and draw on the hanging threads with the gold pen.
Finish off with the Christmas text.
Have
a great weekend and see you next week.

Fliss you are a wiz with modelling you create cracking patterns and designs by scribing into it. Your colour choice is so in keeping with your style and I love it. Have a great weekend.
