Oh Christmas Tree

Welcome to DECEMBER , Wow not long to go now

until we are in holiday mode. This week its my

turn to decorate the tree. Our hop this week starts

at Imagine If .

 

I had this Idea of making my TREE all sparkly

and white, so I pulled out all of my glitters

and things all shiny





I used some of these items not all of them.

 

 

 

I started with the basic Tree, (can be seen here ) . First I used

Gesso to seal it , then painted it white using acrylic paint .

 

Once it was dry I used a clear gell medium to adhere the tiny

stars ,once I had done a portion with stars, I would cover the

area with Tim Holtz rock candy glitter.

 

I continued doing this until both pieces were covered on both

sides.

 

Now at this point every thing was going along fine, BUT!!!

I didn't think this idea through properly, as when I went to

slide the two , together it was tough going, because of the

extra thickness of the glitter .I had to use a little bit of

brute force lol but it did go together in the end.

 

 I also added some snow drifts to make it look
colder.

Here we have Snowy and Gwiny putting up the

lights

This is what I started with

And here it is looking every bit like a church
I covered it with paper that is from the Kaisercraft
Base coat collection and looks old plastered bricks.
I then cover every thing using Tim Holtz .. frosted film

Check out the bell tower . so cool, I have set up a light in the tower
and also in side so it lights up at night.

I used a metal piece inside the round window
and also on the front door.

As you can see here, a little fuzzy. This is
looking through the round window above the door

If you look carefully , you can see the open book on the Alter.
On the inside walls I used the same range of paper but a
different pattern and colour.

I had fun building my church, and I know you will love it to.
