Anyway I am really behind now as I haven't crafted for over a week and Summers Advent Calendar was calling so yesterday I got to work to try and get it to a stage she could actually have it, after many a long hour it still needs to extra detail but it's nearly done!!!!
I found this fabulous calendar last year which I actually painted in gesso in August!! Can you believe that!! After I covered the sides with Gold & Blackberry Croco from the Craft Den which I left over night to get this fabulous effect you can use the heat gun but the effect is better if left to dry naturally.
The numbers where from a K & Co sheet and the beautiful little Magnolia's are from Shrink Plastic!!
Used Viva pearl pens and Martha Stewart holly punch also from the Craft Den.
Wooden snowflakes which I embossed with thick embossing powders by Blonde Moments and then added a Pearl to the centre.
Then loads of stickles!! Just need to wipe over with Metallic paint to go into the cracks for the perfect finished look then the pressie's and my word how expensive it's turned out but hopefully will be a keepsake for them to bring out every year but I bet I have to put the presents in every year as well but then what are Nannan's for!!!!
