Capture the Moment + my first ever Vlog !

Hi everyone,
How are you doing?  It's Marta here ! Are you getting ready for Christmas?

I have to say I am so not ready for Christmas. :) I feel I have so much to do around the house but at the same time my crafty desk is always calling me so loudly :)

Making handmade gifts for my relatives is a great excuse to create even more!

Today I would love to share with you a wooden door. I got those handcrafted wooden doors from a friend.

I love altering plain wooden bits!
The possibilities are endless! You can create anything you want!

I started by stenciling the background using Snowflake Paste. Here and there I added White Crackle Paste. Then I added some metal elements, chipboards from Scrapiniec and lace.

Lastly I added paper flowers and some beads.

The color scheme I chose reminds me of a winter scene. Cold, icy and cosy at the same time. :)
I sprayed my piece using sprays from Lindy's Stamp Gang.
I created the shading using Black and White Gesso.

As my finish touch, I sprinkled the flowers with some glitter!
For me, Christmasy projects must have glitter. :)

Handmade gifts are very special. You can also decorate your house with your own altered pieces.
I hope you found my winter project inspirational.

ps. Did you see my very first Vlog already ???
Check out my little chit chat to you !!!

Hugs, Marta x

Psst psst.... Don't forget there's a Finnabair giveaway going on! ;)
