This week we’re taking a break from challenges – but we have a lot of inspiration lined up for you! Please enjoy the lovely creations and tutorials a few of the design team\u00a0members are\u00a0sharing this week! <\/em><\/p>\n

Hi, everyone, Meihsia<\/a> here today to share a tutorial of mixed media Christmas tree wall hanging for this holiday season. I’ve always loved fun and vibrant colors on my mixed media projects so this week, I decide to make a colorful mixed media Christmas tree to hang on my wall.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

To start this project, I apply a layer of Heavy Gesso using a paint brush on the 12″ chipboard Christmas tree.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Tear some strips of patterned paper from Tim Holtz Paper Stash Seasonal and adhere these strips on the background of the Christmas tree using Heavy Gesso.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Add some textures with Tim Holtz Layering Stencils and Modeling Paste using a palette knife.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Arrange Tim Holtz Countdown Coins from 1 to 25 and adhere the coins on the tree with heavy structure gel.\u00a0Use a Needle Tool to pierce holes to place the Fasteners to secure the Ornate Plate and baubles.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Apply Distress Stain around the edges of the Christmas tree to show the texture and dimension on the background.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Dab Distress Paint on the stenciled image and dry the background with a heat tool.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Rub a layer of Heavy Gesso on the Countdown Coins with fingers.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

After the Gesso is dry, apply various Distress Paints on these coins. Dry the coin before applying another color of Distress Paint on it with a heat tool.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Add a final touch with some Distress Stain metallic shades randomly on the embellishments and background.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Now this mixed media Christmas tree is finished and ready to hang on the wall for the holiday.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I hope you enjoyed my tutorial and got inspired to create something fun and beautiful for your holiday.<\/p>\n

Happy crafting!<\/p>\n
