Christmas Advent Calendar, For The Shimmerz Paints Design Team

                                       Hi everyone! Melissa here with a new post for the                                                                             amazing ShimmerzPaints! Go and see all the fun treasures there! 

This is a cardboard advent calendar I bought at Hobby Lobby last year.

To make this project, I covered each box with some Prima scrapbooking paper from about 10 years ago. I layered on clear gesso, Prima Platinum texture paste with a stencil, Shimmerz paints, and mica powders in gold and silver. I added the charms and covered them with clear gesso, so paint would stick to them. The charms were from my stash, and from Reneabouquets. 

To add visual interest I added just a few micro beads, glass glitter,Swarovski  crystals, and glass beads. 

I added on the numbers with a little glossy accents, they're from old Tim Holtz scrapbooking paper.

Inklingz: Penny 4 Your Thoughts, Angel's Kiss,no longer in stock.

Shimmerz:   Ultra Marine,  Precious Metal, and Peacock's Plume

I covered the top and back of the box with white gesso.

                                           Thank you so much for looking, and have a great week!
