Oh Rach, this is gorgeous, just my cup of tea. I really would like to have a go at this. Love it so much. The gold dots on the tree at the end just finished it off beautifully. Thank you for sharing your talent.
This is a lovely, whimsical lil canvas. I love the tilt of the tree and all the glittery touches you added. Love watching you create! Hope you have a happy Christmas! x
“What is Christmas without glitter?” You should market that because it’s brilliant and the obvious answer is ‘boring,’ hahahahaha! Beautiful little canvas. I think I’ll give this one a try. Merry Christmas and I hope Santa fills your stocking with wonderful crafty goodies!
This just breathtaking. You make it seem so easy that even I could do it! It must be very difficult to come up with so many sensational ideas, but I am very grateful for all your hard work. Merry Christmas to you, too and God bless.
Loving the colours. I like the way you spread the Stickles...such a simple thing but I've never thought of doing it! Wishing you all the joys of the season. TFS ☺
Stunning canvas! Beautiful colours and I love the sparkly, decorated tree. Brilliant video, thank you! Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to you too! xxx
Rachel, this is absolutely beautiful! I love the colors and the whimsical Christmas tree. Merry Christmas! I hope you have a blessed holiday. Your art, talents and time are a blessing to me and many others. Thank you for sharing your talents with us. 🌲🎅
EXCEPTIONAL LOVELY CARD!! HAVE A MERRY XMAS AND NEW YEAR. I COULD NOT HAVE ASKED FOR A BETTER GIFT THIS LAST YEAR, THEN WATCHING YOU CREATE YOUR WONDERFUL VIDEOS. THANK YOU!
So pretty Rachel, and a surprise of colors. The whimsical tree is so fun! I hope you have a very merry Christmas and a happy new year. Thanks for sharing your awesome talent.
Awww, thanks - I don't love it quite so much when I'm editing the longer videos, lol, but it's nice to know they are appreciated. I hope you received my email earlier in the week to thank you for your act of kindness which was very much appreciated :-)
Gorgeous as usual, so glad your back for awhile Hope you have a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Wishing you much Happiness, Love and Laughter for the New Year and always
This is a great video. I love the way you explain and show us everything. I am having a hard time finding the poinsettia stencil. Please let me know if you can help Thanks for the video:)
Beautiful ... the Lumiere paint color is so deep and rich, the gold details sets everything to a festive mood. (Your nails are gorgeous, by the way!) Thank you so much and Happy Holidays from Texas. ♡♡♡
I have previously watched and commented on this fab video and would just like to ask, what is the difference between Golden Matt Medium and Soft Get Matt Medium please? I want one to use for both gluing on artwork, and also sealing paper etc. and to be able to add ink over on labels as I have seen you do. Thank you so much. It's been fab watching this video again! xxx
Love, love, love, love, love!! God bless you, Rachel, for another perfectly timed video! I thoroughly enjoyed watching you create this wonderful canvas! I am also happy to see you use patterned paper for the tree and in some of those beautiful Christmas cards. Patterned paper is our friend. LOL Merry Christmas to you, my friend and all the best to you and yours in the new year! Although.... I do hope to see you again before the new year!!! :-)
Thank you Sue. I have a love, hate relationship with patterned paper - I love how it looks, but it's the one thing I find difficult to use, so have to make a conscious effort to do so. I think it's because all the creativitiy is done already, so I feel like there's nothing to add. Anyway, I can tick the boxes for having used it twice recently, so that's probably enough for one year, lol
Glad you liked the project Carol. I don't recall using gesso in this project. However these are the brushes I used : At the start to add the Americana Craft Paint I used a Royal Langnickel, 3/4" Golden Taklon Glaze Brush, and later in the project, I also use a Daler Rowney System 3, Acrylic Brush which is a 1/2" short flat brush (this is the brush with a yellow handle used with Golden Matt Medium at 3.20mins). For painting the texture paste Poinsettias, I use a detail brush which is a Royal Langnickel Zen 1/8" (3mm) Angled Shader. Hope that helps :-)
I love the wonky Christmas tree! It is gorgeous. You really know how to use your tools. The poinsetta blooms look awesome.
So adorable! I love the tilt of the tree, gives it a funky look.
Thank you very much :-)
This is a very pretty project. And it looks so sparkly too.
Thank you :-)
Very whimsical! Like Bob Ross said, "It's a happy little tree!"
Hahaha, yes indeed, a happy little tree, lol
