'Believe' by Magdalena

Hello creative friends!

It's my turn to share my take on the December mood board challenge. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and that you will start crafting soon after the Holiday break. This time I've chosen to alter a star shaped gift box.

I was inspired by the elements of our mood board and by the festive season itself.

I started with applying a coat of white gesso, some fantastic, festive chipboards and crackle and texture pastes.

I added colours using mists and acrylic paints, did some stamping and started putting together composition.

 I used lots of natural and dried botanicals like slices of wood, pine cones, star anise and mini lotus. I also used foam flowers, an embossed chipboard reindeer and a light bulb as the focal points.

Here are a few close ups:

Thank you for stopping by!

I wish everyone a Happy New Year! May it be filled with love and creativity.

Hugs!

Magdalena
