Hi! Susie here and I am so excited to be joining the Susan K. Weckesser DT just in time for the
...a Christmas Stocking!
I started working on the cuff of the Canvas Corp. stocking, applying large alpha stickers from Fancy Pants, then brushing on a coat of gesso.
Once the gesso dried, I removed the letter "O" sticker and sprayed with Ferrari Red Chalkboard Glimmer Mist from Tattered Angels.I used a paintbrush to make sure the "O" was really saturated.
When that dried, I removed the remaining stickers to reveal the canvas below. I used a black pen to outline the letters and fashioned a bow with chevron striped ribbon from May Arts.
I used the same technique to create most of the lettering on the body of the stocking - I just used smaller stickers! Later on, I also outlined these smaller letters with a black pen.
I stamped the large house, also from the Little Haven set, and heat embossed with white embossing powder before "painting" it with watered down Distress Ink.
I wanted it to be a very soft image that faded into the background. The door of the house was painted with the watered down Ferrari Red Chalkboard Spray.
The last thing I added was the snow man from the One of a Kind Winter set from Unity.
