Hello Crafty Friends,
Today I am sharing with you my first Christmas Album,  the theme is Post Box !
  • Once you assemble all the pieces together you then need to use gesso to prime your base.
  • Once dry you can then apply your colour and  texture paste if using. 
  • Attach all the embellishments using soft gel & heavy body gel for heavier items. 
  • Apply your final colour of paint, I used a sponge to apply the paint it also helped to give the textured finish to the album. Let it dry before the next step.









  • Finally apply some wax to highlight certain areas. 
  • Use a soft gel media to apply beads, glitter glass & glitter if using. 
  • For the inside of the album I used Stamperia Old Christmas paper, I distressed & stained the edges of the paper.
  • Use some lace & other embellishments to add interest & texture. 


Products Used
  • Finnabair white gesso, soft Matt gel, heavy body gel
  • Impasto paints
  • Glitter glass, beads, glitter
  • Finnabair waxes
