#adorable - Mary Tzalla with a VIDEO TUTORIAL

Merry Christmas my dear friends!!!

May all the sweet magic of Christmas conspire to gladden your heart and fill every desire you have!

Mary here with you today and I have a new layout with a video tutorial to share. A soft christmasy page with lots of gorgeous chipboards and flowers combined with some beautiful Maja Design papers.

You can watch all the procedure here with the video tutorial...

And here are some close ups...

 For my background, I used papers from the new gorgeous ''Christmas Season'' collection. My main paper is the ''Greeting Cards'' and I made a layer on it with the ''Mistletoe Green'' paper. Behind my photo I used the ''Mistletoe Green'', the ''Trim the Tree'' and the ''Greeting Cards'' papers to add some layers.

 

I started by applying a coat of clear gesso on the background paper and then I used an icing paste with a stencil to create texture. I made some stamping here and there and I used Lindy's Gang sprays to add color.

Next step was to paint all the chipboards. I started with the ''Skeleton Clock Face 6x6'', the first layer from the ''Layered Garland'' and the ''Scroll Set #2'' which were painted with the Finnabair Steampunk Copper acrylic paint. The ''Holly Flourish #2'' chippies were painted with the Finnabair Fairy Wings paint.

The ''Poinsettia Small'', the title word from the ''Hashtag Sayings #2'' and the second layer from the ''Layered Garland'' were also painted with the Finnabair Unicorn's hair paint.

 

 

When everything was glued down I added some glass glitter and beads.

Santas Little Helper - Joanne Bain

Hello!!

Joanne here with you today to share my version of Santa's Little Helper. I thought it would be super cute to create an altered minion and turn him into a quite smug little Elf complete with wings and a little jet pack.

'Santa's Little Helper'

How cute is he? He has a tool belt and all....

I have used the chain from the chain rectangles to attach his eye glass and also for the straps of his overalls.

For his little jet pack I used one of the large pendants from the Ornate Pendants #1 set and I then cut the centre from a cog to use as the propeller.

To dress up his little overalls I cut apart the smaller Holly pieces from The Holly Flourish set, these pieces created his overall trim and the centerpiece for his bow tie to sit upon.

His wings were created using the wings from one of the Industrial Dragon Flies and the large piece of holly from the Holly Flourish #2 set.

Michelle back again with my last one for the year....

I love to work on canvas!

I adore this photo that I found on Pinterest.

For this layout I used two photos.

Once again, 

for the back ground I mixed the nuvo shimmer powder - Atlantis Burst 

and applied to the canvas. 

Re-applying several times to get the desired effect. 

Also splatting, including Prima sparks - Unicorn hair.

I stencilled using a music note, 

and stamped with Christmas stamps.

The painting all chippies with dusty Capri paint, 

let dry and touching up with Prima sparks.

I included white netting to the back ground and layered from there.

I also used gold netting as well as flowers.

I attached 2 little glitter birds.

Wishing all happy Scrapers a wonderful Festive Season and 

Prosperous New Year!
