A Trio of Trees.

I bought these MDF trees at Ally Pally from Anna-Marie Designs.
 
I painted them with Paper Artsy Antartica Chalk Paint from The Craft Barn.
Added some Crackle Glaze and then a coat of
Paper Artsy Snowflake Chalk Paint.
 
I stuck the trees into the base and there they sat, unfinished
on my desk for a few weeks.
I was waiting for some inspiration as how I
wanted to decorate them.
 
A friend saw them and asked how much I was selling them for and
was quite upset when I said they were for us!!
 
She doesn't know yet, but I have made one for her too, as a pressie!
 
 
You can't actually see from the photos, but I built up the base
with Plaster Of Paris fabric.
It's a bit like what they use for broken limbs.
It was very messy!!

 
The Reindeer is a Tando one, also from The Craft Barn.
I added the die cut swirls onto him.

 
I loved making this, even though it was very messy!!
 
I hope to have some exciting news next week!
So watch this space!!
Thanks for popping by and leaving me such lovely messages.
 
Big hugs,
 
Carol xxxx

My goodness, it's gorgeous Carol and I want one too! Love how you created the base with the mod roc, I haven't tried that out but thought it might be messy....very worth it though. The addition of the deer and all the florals at the front make it so perfect, I'm definitely feeling the Christmas spirit! Have a lovely weekend and hope you've got your moving date now? Chris x
