Olde World Christmas triptych for Creative Artiste

Hello there crafters and happy December to you! 'Tis the season, for sure, (although I'm really, really behind on everything this year!) and I wanted to create something with a warm Christmas feel to it. I remembered having some gorgeous vintage Christmas cut-aparts  in my stash,
and these old-fashioned Santas were the perfect size to fit into my triptych panels.



The piece itself is a Gypsy Soul Lasercuts item, the Arabian triptych. I primed it in white, then added clear DecoArt Crackle Glaze, then rubbed FolkArt antiquing medium over it to create a vintage effect and make the cracks stand out more.


When the pieces were put togethet, I chose chipboard, wood and diecut items to embellish the tops of each frame. These pieces were heat embossed with Pebbled Copper; sorry but I don;t know the manufacturer, as I received them in small unlabeled containers, bearing just the name of the colour. Again I added a little rub of antiquing medium.



This was a fairly simple project to put together but I do like the vintage feel of the finished project and I hope you do too. Thanks a bunch for stopping by; I hope you decide to play along with our December challenge, which can be found HERE. I wish you a wonderful Christmas season and look forward to sharing my creations with you again in the new year! xoxo
