Beauty in Simplicity

Hello everyone on this fourth day of Christmas and I hope everyone is enjoying the festive season. It is my turn to share a project at Country View Challenges today for our theme:

Make A Scene

You will remember how much I enjoyed making a little shadow box at Michelle Webb's workshop back in November, so I couldn't resist making one of my own from heavy cardstock and decorating it with a little scene made up of some Tando Creatives die cuts I bought whilst on the workshop.

I created my background by first painting the greyboard with gesso and then a couple of coats of PaperArtsy Fresco Paint in Snowflake. I then created a little texture with some Crackle Paste and a Harlequinn stencil and once this had dried I overlaid a watery mix of Pansy Fresco Paint. Once the box was put together I gave everything a good splattering with gesso!

These gorgeous Tando treas got a coating of Snowflake Fresco Paint and then Rock Candy Distress Crackle applied here and there. I also added some Rock Candy to the little ceramic flowers to give them a little sparkle.

And would you know that this is a Beach Hut !!!!! I had great fun putting this little shed together with text paper and crackle paint. 

And so my finished boxed wintry scene, which glitters beautifully in candlelight.

Thank you for joining me today and my best wishes to you all for the rest of the festive season.
