Snowmen Tags and Magnets

 

Memory!

Where does it go?

 

I decided it was time to update my blog

and

I found these pictures all ready

and

waiting for directions.

So here goes.

 

I know that they are a little unseasonal

but

they were on the top of my painting pile

waiting to be finished.

With sealer/white glue/modge podge

adhere the paper to the tags.

 

I have used an old hymnal,

scrapbook paper will work as well.

Don't have an old hymnal?

If you send me your mailing address,

I will send pages to you.

How easy is that? 

When they are dry,

sand them and antique them with some

dark chocolate acrylic paint thinned down. 

 

I use water, faster drying time and they are small.

Anything much bigger than these tags, I use extender in my paint for antiquing.

 

With Light Cinnamon,

paint in three circles.

 

C'mon, did you think I was going to give you a pattern for this?

Don't forget a little base for them to stand on.



These are the colors I used for the snowmen.

You will also need an orange, black and a scarf color.

Don't these colors just make you hungry?

(Well maybe not the buttermilk, unless it is in Texas sheet cake.)



I am using a round brush for all of the snowman

and a liner for the arms and scarf.

Highlight the right side of the snowman and the base with Cocoa.

 



 

 

It always is easier to do 12 or more at a time! 

Highlight again with Buttermilk.

 

If you look close you will see that they are somewhat transparent.

I don't really worry too much about that.

 

 

Another highlight with white, 

A nose, eyes and mouth.

Some arms and a scarf

and

you are good to go.

 

How fast was that?



 

Tomorrow,

update on my trip to Florida

and

continuing recuperation.
