Merry Christmas to You All!

Saturday, December 09, 2017


Ahh! It's been a while that I didn't make any card! Because I've been practicing calligraphy these days ^^*! Similar to crafting, you need a good sense to do it, but all the rest relying on practice, practice and practice...! And it really makes sense as you can see change and progress everyday. The followings are something that I wrote recently. AND! See the star tag on this new decoration on table (yeah, it's not a card ^^), I wrote the tag Merry and Bright with Finetec Arabic Gold, which is one of my most favourite colors. 






Okay now! Let's see the new table decoration I made as a Christmas gift for my best friend.




I am comfort with Copic coloring, but using distress inks to color is really a challenge for me. However, I like distress ink's effect so much that I have to step out my comfort zone, and I think I made a little progress than last time. ^^*


I painted my own green watercolor paper to die cut those pine needles. I made two color sets and finally decided to use the darker green.


I have to say, mulberry handmade paper flowers are my most favourite ones for crafting, and they never disappointed me. 



Finally, I decorated it with a real tiny pine that I picked up along the riverside, and added some red crystals.  I brushed the white gesso to all the edges and flowers, and then painted the edges with the finetec gold watercolor left over from writing the star tag.

This table decoration is actually meant to be a photo frame with iner height that can be hang on the wall, or put on the table, but I haven't decided how to decorate the frame, so let's wait and see how it would turn out. And I will add a new post if it's done later.

This post is meant to take part in the following challenges:

AAM CHALLENGE #29 - ALL ABOUT CHRISTMAS TIME
