This years has pasted me by quickly

Many joyous moments, some disappointments, and new revelations

My last project for 2013

3D Steampunk Xmas Tree

Found an old tattered book at my thrift store for 25 cents.

I found a tutorial through Pinterest.

I put gesso on the folded pages and started spraying

I used Lindy's Stamp Gang embossing powders, sprays and micas

Dylusions 

Used foil tape and used Tim Holtz dies and embossing folders

I bought some watch findings on www.etsy.com used Ranger's Glossy Accent to adhere the gears n cogs

found an awesome shop for the laser chip boards called www.ginasdesigns.net

the remaining embellishments are from my stash that I've collected throughout projects

This creation is also my submission to

Creative Paperclay® - Eclectic Tree Ornament

Hello Everyone!

It has been pretty 

busy around here

and brain is working on overtime with 

creations to share

Sometimes things you envision comes

out different in the process

ECLECTIC TREE ORNAMENT

I used star shaped cookie cutters

and put them to good use

 After following the directions for 

baking the Creative Paperclay®

 I painted the stars with Lumiere Acrylics

 Halo Blue Gold and Pearl White on one side

 Mod Podged

 with Martha Stewart's Aquamarine Crystal and Tinsel Glitters

 Rolled and used Tim Holtz Distress Stain

Brushed Pewter to create balls to be placed between the

stacked stars

I added pearls underneath the faux leaves/branches ;0) 

 This can also be created with your 

children and given to their teachers for the holidays

just changed to your color palette

and add beads or metals or whatever your heart desires   

Thanks for stopping by

will see you soon
