Good morning, eeeek I'm running a little late this morning as we've got gremlins in the house. Barney has managed to spill his water bowl all over the floor so the kitchen was awash lol. Just got that mopped up and I managed to drop my camera in my coffee - not a good idea. Anyway its time for a new challenge over at PanPastel UK, where we've got a Christmas theme this week. As always our lucky winner will receive a fab PanPastel Starter kit from our generous sponsor Berni at Your Creativity Store.
For my DT project I've created a little scene using Stampendous stamps and PanPastels and altered a photo frame using Maimeri Light Modelling Paste and more PanPastels (of course lol)
I applied the Maimeri modelling paste and used the triangular comb to create a wood grain texture and left it to dry. Once dry I applied Raw Umber and Burnt Sienna PanPastels and then a coat of MaiMeri Gloss Medium to seal the 'woodgrain' effect.
The main image is a Whiff of Joy stamp, coloured with distress markers. I added a frame of holly leaves made bycolouring white card with various shades of green PanPastel and then stamping lots of holly sprigs (stamp from Molly Bloom) and cutting them out. I finished off by adding red gems for holly berries, some seam binding ribbon and a gorgeous brass snowflake charm.
I'm entering this project in the following challenges:

Delicious Doodles: anything but a card
Decorate to Celebrate: Christmas

Barney and coffee not a good combination Claire but we are so lucky your camera still worked otherwise we wouldn't have got to see this gorgeous piece. Hope the rest of the day is mis-hap free.

You gave me a chuckle with the gremlins! My Molly (Dalmatian) does not drop things, but Fred the bird is terrible with throwing his seeds all over the place! He loves to do that after I have cleaned? Your card is absolutely stunning! Love it! Enjoy the rest of your day!
