Joy to you this christmas!
motifs from Anton Pieck
I used the beautiful crackle distress paint colors in brown and white
I must say I love this one-step crackle paint,
it will truly change the way you distress your projects.
really magic effects!
also the wonderful distress colors,
they are not pushy and too colorful, but they give your project
an amazing altered vintage look
Challenges:
a big tradition in our family is it to visit a christmas market in advent season
in this year we planned a trip to Austria
I made this ATB in anticipation to this particular travel
I hope you like my little inspiration for this beautiful month theme!
Thank you very much

Christmas stocking
Welcome everyone!
today a new inspiration for our DT Tresors de Luxe.
It's a self made sewn christmas stocking.
das nostalgische Bild wurde auf eine Bügeltransferfolie gedruckt
und auf den alten Baumwollstoff übertragen.
Diese Folie kann man auch mit wasserfesten Stempelkissen sehr gut bestempeln.
zusammen mit den alten Glöckchen und dem grünen Filz
ist es eine echte, vielleicht auch magische Elfensocke geworden,
wo viele nette kleine Überraschungen hinein passen
die Spitzenapplikationen sind wunderbar verarbeitet und zusätzlich mit
Perlen und Pailetten verziert
I hope you like my christmas inspiration
with the beautiful products from Tresure de Luxe
and you get pleasure to taste it once yourself :-)
Thanks for your visit!
Happy crafting

and once more we have two prizes to give away to two randomly drawn winners
(picked from all proper entries to our challenge).
today a new idea what you can make with a simple plastic frame from Dollarstore
I have used 3 several embossing folder on cardstock
then paint it with black gesso, let it dry
now use Metallic Lustre (Silver spark) with a stencil brush, because it's a water-based metallic wax paste, you can buff it with a soft cloth and you will see a wonderful brilliant shine
pipelines arise from sturdy drinking tubes
with heat gun you can deform it very well
light bulbs are of an old Christmas lighting chains
So as long as it is steampunk or industrial style you can create any
kind of theme and project you wish! From steampunk style Christmas
baubles to non-Christmas steampunk cards to tags to altered objects or
whatever else you would love to create -
we want to see it all!
Show us
your industrial and steampunk styles and creations!
Happy crafting
and a wonderful advent season friends!
