Christmas Decor


 
I started off with a candle plate that I no longer use. I covered it in home made texture paste and created depth in it with my palette knife.
 
I had lots of  bits and pieces from a broken Christmas decoration - so started to add them sticking them into the paste I then followed the technique on page 60 of the Compendium of Curiosities volume 3 to do my woodland- the bottom picture shows the trees better.
 
I added some battery lights and lots of glitter which actually doesn't show too well in the photos
 
This is my entry for the C of C challenge - this week sponsored by  the Inspiration Emporium and ,of course, hosted by the wonderful Linda Ledbetter and the amazing Curiosity Crew who choose a project each fortnight and the creator wins an amazing lot of goodies provided by Tim and Mario . I f you haven't got a copy of this brilliant book you can get it at your local craft supplier or directly from Tim Holtz HERE 
 
I am entering this piece in the following challenges too
 
Artist Trading Post - Recycle - almost everything is recycled here
 
Mixed Media Place - 3D Texture
 
Mixed Media Mojo - Ornaments
 
The Mirror Cracked - Alter It
 
Virginias View - All things Distressed - I used lots of Distress Sprays and Distress Glitter on my project
