Hello dear crafters! I am Zvezdana Rot, aka Veana R. I live with my lovely family on the coast of wonderful Slovenia - the only country in the world that has the word LOVE in its name. Let’s stay in love.... I love my garden, where colorful flowers inspire my creativity and I love reading, because one life for me is not enough, but most of all I love art & crafting, where my imagination spread it wings. Started 4 years ago with making greeting cards and scrapbooking. Last year in June I started writing a blog and discovered mixed media techniques. Just love it!! A big Thank You to dear Natassa, as she kindly invited me to be a Guest Designer this month. The December moadboard is just magical and inspired me to create this beautiful Christmas wreath.
First, I cut a star from a carton, covered it with moss and wrapped a wire around it. To highlight the green color of the moss, I sprinkled some Lindy's Magical Powders in green color. I used white embossingpowder all around the edges of the star, to create the impression of snow.
I die cut these beautiful houses out of cardboard. I painted them with white gesso, covered them with crackle paste and then sprinkled on them Lindy's Magical Powder in red color. On the roofs I applied paste that I created by mixing various ingredients, and by chance it started puffing when I heat set it. Wow! I really liked this! I glued those magical little houses on a semicircular piece of cardstock with 3d self-adhesive pads.
I enjoy creating with Mixed Media techniques and I always completely forget about time. I usually use what I find in my studio. I like to add some natural elements and also recycled or old accessories. But most of all I love Lindy's products, because they are really magical like Christmas time.
On the top of the wreath, I made a Christmas bow and added some decorative elements. The two little metal angels are there to bring peace and love in my village.
Let me wish you dears: May all the sweet magic of Christmas inspire your creativity and fill your hearts with love & joy. Have a HappyHoliday and a magnificent New Year!!!
