Through Santa's Eyes... (Photo Tutorial)

Greetings everyone!

This is Isha Pai and today I am here on the blog to share a detailed photo tutorial of my project "Through Santa's Eyes" which goes very well with the current monthly theme 

Winter Celebration.

This project depicts a beautiful house which is decorated for Christmas and Santa is spying on the house through the window on when and how to get into the house. Also, in this project the reindeer stands camouflage with the wall of the house, as he is sent by Santa himself to have a close look of the house.

In this project I have used newly launched chippies like Mistletoe (leaf and berries) and Pillar flourish frame.

Let's begin with the photo tutorial:

Step 1: I took an 8" by 8" MDF base, with panel of a window. And few newly launched chippes. The picture shows snowflake and star chippies also, but I decided to not use in the project as it will go unnoticed. 

Step 2: Then after pasting the window panel with glue gun, I pasted few molded bricks and later applied a coat of Heavy White Gesso with the help of a sponge dabber and then added Deco art stones mixed with Opaque Matte Texture Paste.  

Step 3: Applied a thin coat of Heavy White Gesso and then painted the reindeer with Sprinkle Mist Chest Nut  and two Christmas trees with Sprinkle Mist Deep Teal Blue. Also painted the mistletoe chippie with Metallic paints like - Ancient gold, Wedding Red and Mermaid Song. And painted Pillar flourish frame chippie with ancient gold metallic paint.

Step 4: Then I colored the base with Sprinkle Mists - Blaze Orange, Chest Nut and Deep teal blue.

Lastly I pasted all the embellishments with some dried moss and enhanced the Winter look with Ice & Snow Texture Paste and Rainbow Sparks.

Materials used in this project are:

1. Heavy White Gesso

2. Opaque Matte texture paste

3. Ice & Snow Texture Paste

4. Deco stones Mini and Medium

5. Sprinkle Mist - Chest Nut, Deep Teal Blue and Blaze Orange

6. Metallic Paints - Wedding red, Mermaid song and Ancient Gold 

7. Chipboard - Mistletoe and Pillar Flourish Frame

8. Rainbow Sparks

I hope you have liked the above project.. create one using your imagination and participate in our monthly challenge.

Just have a look into my finished piece of art

steps by step procedure as follows
