![]() ![]() (Ok, that does sound a little ruder than intended – stop sniggering please, lol). You may have spotted this but as it wasn’t a hugely important thing I completely forgot to take a pic of the step in which I did it.Īnd finally here is my little chap on display for all to see. Well, it would have been rude not to, lol.īy the way, I didn’t mention it earlier but I did use some ink to black over the edges. The next day I came back and added a whole loada bling! … no-one would be any the wiser would they – well, unless I told them, like I just told you.Īt the end of the painting etc I hung the little chap out to dry. It was at this point that I realised I wanted to give my little man a scarf – oh poo. I did in fact apply more layers to the snowman than the hills as I wanted him to stand out.įor the next bit I also added a couple of trees, using stamps, and then went over these with that black PITT pen again. ![]() The first application didn’t have a lot of opacity so I kept adding further layers until I got a good depth of colour. Maybe this would look like the others are in the background?įor the next step I used some cream coloured acrylic paint to start filling in the snowman and hills in the background. I also stamped a couple of actual snowflake images around the edge. Looks like there needs to be a heavy snowfall warning to accompany the bauble, lol.Īnyway, I popped a dot of white acrylic paint in the centre of each “snowflake” because, to the naked eye, they looked a little faint. The stamp set came with a hilly snow scene line set also so I stamped this across the bauble.īefore removing the mask I also applied some white ink to the snowfall stamp from this set and “liberally” stamped (chucked) it all over. I made a mask from a post-it note and popped this over the snowman. To correct this I used a Faber-Castell PITT artist pen (Indian Ink) to colour in the gaps. I guess that’s what you get for trying to stamp on a hollow object. Plonk is an actual technical term you know ) Next, the snowman stamp was inked up with Versafine ink and plonked right in the centre of the bauble. Looks a little more rounded than just a flat shape, don’t you think? I gave the bauble an all over coat of light blue paint and then stippled over the edges with some darker coordinating paint. ![]() You can imagine that creating a snow scene was like doing a rain dance but I cranked up the heating and set too.Īnyway, the basis of this bauble was a blank paper mache bauble shape that I picked up at my local Hobbycrafts store – I think that it was about 50p. Day two of the Christmas blog post countdown has arrived! I’ve been making an assortment of Christmas tree decorations over the last few weeks and this was one that I did mid-November on a cold and wintery day – it felt so cold that I thought that it was going to snow! ![]()
