More Festive Sparkle

The background on the plaque above was created by randomly stamping CI-368 Swirly Tree into wet acrylic paint to add texture.  If you click on the photo it is a bit more visible.  I then added CI-169 'Angels', the word 'Believe' from CI-156 and embellished it further with tags and holly leaves.

 I decided to make a 'lasagne frame' to house an altered beer mat which had been mounted onto an MDF tile.  The beer mat was painted with acrylics and stamped into with CI-368  to add texture.  I then over stamped in gold using the same stamp as shown below.

 The MDF tile was given the same treatment and the texture can be seen above.  I rubbed over the dried paint with wax rubs to highlight the texture.  The gorgeous Angel in the chippy frame was from a glossy sheet of images from Crafty Individuals.  I LOVE the images, they are so versatile and such good value.

I received lots of yummy new stamps from Jean and Malcolm recently but forgot to take photo's of them.  I am in the middle of a canvas using a few more of them so will post  it as soon as it's finished.  Until then, bye for now.
