PA Christmas Crackers 1 & 2

I've been playing along with PA Christmas Cracker videos. I used the foundations of the first one and added in elements of the second one. You can see them here and here. I painted a piece of chipboard in mocca mousse and pencilled in roughly where I wanted things to go.

Put some little piles of GP on craft mat and added fresco paints, starting with the greens.

Thoroughly mixing the paint into the GP.

And proceeded to cover the stencil with the grunge paste.

I carried out exactly the same process for the bricks using stone, chocolate pudding and French roast. I love how the colours have mingled.

It was here that I used some of the techniques from Christmas Cracker project 2 and stamped images into the wet GP.

 

Once completely dry, I sanded back the whole piece.

I added my window frame, fence and trees. I haven't decided what to put behind the window yet.

And finally I added aquamarine treasure gold to the green areas to hi-lite the texture in the GP and

Onyxite treasure gold on the bricks.
