Winter Scene Bauble

Good morning, Kirsten here, I hope everyone had a nice weekend. I had a very lazy Sunday, recovering from all Lisa's & my preparations for the Christmas party classes & then
the classes themselves on Friday. Today I'd like to show the first of my three MDF baubles that I decorated for the classes................

I began with the Village Fence from Anna Marie Designs, applying Rusty Patina Blanc with a palette knife. I gave it a quick blast with my heat tool, scratched into it with a piercing tool, then set it aside to dry overnight...........

(Rusty Patina gives such a nice, rough texture when it's dry, due to the rust particles in it & once it's dry you can keep adding more to build up as much texture as you like).

The next day I painted the fence with Sax Blue Starlights, pushing the paint into the cracks before wiping off the surface layer with a baby wipe - using a clean piece each time. I used a baby wipe with paint on it to add a little paint to the bottom of the fence...........

I used the same techniques with the Rusty Patina & Starlights (Topaz & Antique Gold) on the little Anna Marie Designs birdhouse.......

This is the spacer bauble that comes with the MDF set. I applied Rusty Patina Blanc to it with a palette knife & used the tip of the palette knife to tap into the wet RP to create texture. When the RP was dry, (I left it overnight also), I painted the bauble with Sax Blue, Blue & Mediterranean Sky Starlights..................

I had previously painted the MDF trees with Green & Emerald Starlights for another project, so I just painted Mediterranean Sky & Sax Blue on top & added Diamond SM................

The MDF birds were painted with Topaz & Zinober Gold Starlights & I created the snowy mound by brayering a mix of Diamond Sparkle Medium & Cracked Ice glitter on to white card then cutting the dry card to fit the base of the bauble & cover the bottom of the fence....................

I used hot glue to adhere everything to the bauble, added a ribbon to the top & a few Art Cutz snowflakes that I'd painted with Blue & Pearl Starlights & some gems to the trees & the bauble was finished......................
