Clear Scraps Project Post

Hello friends! It's Jennifer on the blog on the first day of December!  Winter is almost here in Central Illinois and today I'm sharing a home decor project with a snowy theme!  I  used the Bulb Medium DIY Pallet Shape as the foundation today's post and will show the techniques I  used. 

I  began by applying two generous coats of chalk paint in patina.  The birch wood of the pallet accepts the paint readily so that is why I  did a second coat  Chalk paint dries quickly so you don't have to wait long between each application. 

Next, using the 6 Inch Nordic Snowflakes Mascil and StazOn ink in Opaque, I  lightly dabbed my ink on the surface of my pallet.  A non pigment ink is recommended on Clear Scraps products as it will not run or smudge. 

Here is a close up of the ink on top of the chalk paint! I  really love the contrast as well as the softness of the white! 

To accent, I  added the Snowman Mini Shaker Shape as the focal point!  Again using chalk paint, I  painted the top chipboard frame as well as the edges of the two inside chipboard frames.  

While my pieces were drying, I  used my Beacon 3-in-1 Adhesive to affix patterned paper to the chipboard base of the Snowman Shaker. I  trimmed my excess paper with scissors followed by using an x-acto knife and sanding tool. 

Next, I  adhered my two middle chipboard frames with Beacon 3-in-1.  Use care to not get adhesive inside of your shaker to prevent your fillers from sticking to the sides. 

I  then filled each section with snow glitter flakes and Sprinkles Winter Flake Mix.

I  added pink and white bakers twine around the neck of the Snowman to simulate a scarf.  I  then adhered my shaker to the pallet using my Beacon Adhesive.

Here is a close up of my shaker filler! The blues in the Sprinkles Winter Flake Mix really make the shaker pop! 

I  then adhered die cuts and stickers from the collection I  used as well as created a title with my Silhouette.
