Christmas Tree Special

Good evening Followers, Friends and Visitors,

Thanks for stopping by my blog, hope you enjoy your visit.   Tonight I would like to share a Christmas decoration I made for Imagination Craft's  Create & Craft's TV show today.   It is made using their MDF Christmas Tree Kit which was designed for them by Kath Halstead and is very popular.

The tree itself comes in two parts which slide together to make a stand-up tree.   Take each part and paint with the chalk white MDF paint.    Paint the top half with the turquoise satin silky for the sky.    Whilst paint is still wet sprinkle on some glamour dust to the bottom half, for the frosty snow.

    
                      Fir trees were stencilled onto the bottom halves using silver sparkle medium. 

    
   
I covered some white card with silver sparkle medium and left it to dry.   When dry,  I die-cut some snowflakes using a Tattered Lace die and cut each one in half and glued these to the tops of the tree.   Glue some smaller silver snowflakes to the top half of the tree.

 

 All the different sized MDF baubles were painted  with purple lace silky and sprinkled with glamour dust whilst still wet.   Some have silver sparkle medium on them, using the Imagination craft's mini stencils, ie., stars etc.,

 
  
   
    
         
                        Add some cord and ribbons to the baubles and hang on the tree branches.

Well that's it my friends, hope you like it.   See you soon, It's off to bed for me now as it is well after midnight, past my bedtime lol!   See you all soon.

                                                               Love and Rainbows,

                                                                 Hugs   Jennifer xx.
