Christmas layout and 

Baby Boy mini canvas 

by Sue Smyth 

You may have noticed a tutorial earlier this year on how

to make a paling fence effect.

Here is a layout using the same effect but different colours.

This time I included a bright green, to team with a Christmas 

layout.

I have embossed the tree with gold embossing powder and added 

micro beads, see the little tutorial below.

To make it look larger I have cut it in half and placed

above and below the photo

I have added lots of Christmas red flowers,

to give them depth and shine, I have painted

the petals with red inka gold, added red glitter glue 

to the centres and also dipped 

the very edges of the petals into red dylusions.

This gives a really need dark edge to the petal.

Last year I found these really neat glittered foam balls,

they are just perfect for adding to layouts etc, as they

are light weight and flexible.

I simply painted the chip children with 2 coats of gesso, 

and dried off with the heat gun for a bubbled effect 

For the presents, I have painted with gesso and dried.

Then add dimensional magic and white glitter.

Allow to dry and then add red glitter glue for 

the ribbons and bow.

And I have simply painted the small ornament with

white gesso and tucked under the flower cluster.

This is the first 2 layers of the paling fence, using lemon and green paint

with petroleum jelly in between for the stripped

back  effect ...

For the gold tree, first I have embossed with

2 layers of aged gold embossing powder.

Sprinkle with gold micro beads while hot.

While hot spray with white dylusions, and continue

to heat for about 5 seconds, until the surfaces

fractures and bubbles and the white dylusions are dry.

Delightful Baby Boy 

Mini Canvas 

I made this little canvas for a friend who is expecting a little

baby boy, she can use this to decorate the nursery. Because

it is small it can easily tuck away when it is 

out grown.

The train is painted white and gently inked on the edges.

Then cover with a layer of dimensional 

magic and white glitter.

The sun is painted yellow, then cover with a layer of 

dimensional magic and sprinkle over

yellow flocking and a little yellow glitter.

The clouds have many layers of thick gesso painted over them

dry and blister in between each layer for a fluffy effect.
