Freezing cold silver and hot red by Tusia Lech

Hello everyone,

I am not a regular contributor for Mixed Media Place blog, but this month I am here with some Christmas cards and step-by-step video.

We all love receiving personalized gifts - Christmas Cards are great opportunity to let somebody know, that they are special. I love creating unique cards - there are no two identical cards. They may be similar, because I used similar or same products, but the whole fun is in creating with artistic freedom. Duplicating things is something definitely not for me :) 

You can see set of cards created with 7 Dots Studio Yuletide collection, available in Mixed Media Place store and several Finnabair media - whole supply list is at the bottom of this blogpost (with active links).

When you take a look on close-ups you will see, how textured the cards are. I have used micro beads, glass beads, art stones, snowflake paste and also gesso mixed with impasto paints. The possibilities are endless, but I wanted to create a mixture of freezing cold silver-white with hot red and warm golden. Perfect combination for upcoming festive season.

Here is my video tutorial:

Thank you for visiting the blog today. I hope you enjoyed my creations :)

Hello!
I liked the combination of colors, and the expectation of a winter wonder.

Snow gave the idea of using Heavy Gesso White, as if everything was slightly powdered with snow.

Hello everyone,

for this month challenge I have created a card. As usual there is a video at the bottom of my blog post.

For that card I have used newest 7 Dots Studio collection, Northern Lights as well as lots of Finnabair media - Modelling Paste, Impasto Paint, ArtAlchemy Wax and ArtAlchemy Metallic Paint and more.

And here is my video:

Make-over of my home is an ongoing process :) One of the newest elements is a frame, created on 7gypsies base (I love their wooden products). I altered it using tones of Finnabair products (you can see them below with direct links to the store).

I would like to show you some steps:

1. Using Soft Matte Gel I glued down pieces of paper (7 Dots Studio Northern Lights). After everything dried, I created texture on the frame and on each of the papers.

2. I choose some Mechanicals and started to place them in almost each sector. I have added also some Art Stones and Glass Beads.

3. After everything had dried, I painted some areas with black gesso.

4. I have added more Mechanicals and some resin elements. When everything dried, I have covered everything again with black gesso and then I started applying Art Alchemy Metallic paints. Finishing touch was adding Art Alchemy Wax.

Here is final effect:
