Good morning!!! I am so glad you stopped by to check out what is happening on the Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts Blog! The blog has fabulous projects being shared everyday. Today I am sharing my St Nicholas Advent Tree; it won't be long before the count down happens.
Begin by painting the pieces of Advent Tree; dry. Lay stencil on prepared pieces; apply gesso to each piece. Allow everything to dry. Paint with layers of paint going from lightest to dark. Drying between layers.
Repeat until you achieve the look you want with the paints. Dry. Lay second stencil to the top of pieces and apply paste with palette knife. Dry. Stamp background image on to pieces with black paint; dry.
Cut chipboard to form base. (Contact Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts Store to get price.) Tape together to hold shape as you apply paper to top and sides.
Adding borders strips that have been scored to the top and sides will support the box.
