December Challenge Inspiration - DT Priyanka Srivastava

Hello Crafty Souls,

Today we have our DT Priyanka Srivastava with this month's inspiration for the challenge!

Over to Priyanka now....

Hello everyone,

I am Priyanka. Here is the month's moodboard for the December challenge.

This month, its all about Winter, snow and the lovely Christmas for all to be merry! So here is my project in which I have tried to encompass most of the essence of December. Have a look at it.

It is a very simple project and here are steps to make a similar one.

Step 1: I took a waste cardboard as a base and covered it's entire surface with black gesso.

Step 2:  I choose a decoupage papers having winter theme and tore the edges to give it a a little rustic look. I really liked the St. Clauses sleigh loaded with Christmas presents!!!! Anyone will be merry just by a look at that! I curled all the edges a little. I liked a picture of 3 little birds perched on snow clad branches of a tree and wanted to use that so I tore that from the other decoupage paper and set it a corner. I set both the papers on the base with mod podge. I gave another layer of mod podge on top of the papers too to seal them. 

Step 3: I decorated the edges and curled part of the paper with mini art stones as they gave look of snow.

Step 4: I then used felt flowers from our sponsor Creative Minds to decorate the entire piece. Look how lovely they look! I used some art stones here and there with flowers too.

Step 5: Finally I used blue and red chalk paints and smeared them a little at the edges with my finger. This gave an overall blended look with the entire piece. 

I hope you liked the project. Here are some close ups of it.
