Winter is coming. And that means it's time for some icy blue paper confections!
I've been loving making some basic autumn decor so I decided I needed something for winter as well. I really enjoy fussy cutting elements from P13's paper pads so I pulled out the
Four Seasons Winter and
Cosy Winter Maxi Creative pads to fussy cut to my little hearts content.
But to start, I added texture to my 8x8 inch canvas using a palette knife and white gesso. This little lines of texture just add something special, and it kind of looks like snow drifts for winter!
I then chose a
resin frame I had cast earlier and painted it with the same white gesso. After drying, I then painted the frame with a blue impasto paint from Prima. Once the paint was dry, I used my finger to apply
white wax to the highlights.
I then glued down all of my elements using heavy body gel, Distress Collage Medium and foam squares. I also used half of a small clothespin to help pop up the largest element in the center of the frame so I didn't have to use like five layers of
foam adhesive, lol! I even added some bits of lace to the mix as well.
Once all the paper elements and a few paper flowers were attached, I set about adding a bit of watercolor to the canvas. I watered down some of that same
icy blue paint in a palette and dabbed it on my canvas around the frame and arounds some of the paper elements. I then splattered it with the watered down paint by tapping my loaded paintbrush above the canvas.
I hope you love how this wintery project turned out. I'm so excited to hang it up when I decorate for the winter season. Until next time, happy crafting!
