It's thyme to TAKE CARE OF MY HEART



TAKE CARE OF MY HEART
is
 a new design
 that I have painted 
for 
Painting With Friends



I painted this design on a wood pizza peel


BUT
it would look great on many surfaces!


this design was inspired 
by 
Terrye French


The snowmen were painted using
 a 
"dry brush".




Layers of drying brushing 
added a nice contour to the snowmen



Adding facial details

I kept my colors soft.


This was a fun pattern to paint!!!


You can purchase this 
E-PATTERN



Happy Painting!

It is thyme to chase the snowflakes


TAKE THYME TO CHASE THE SNOWFLAKES
is 
a new design that I have painted 
for

PAINTING WITH FRIENDS


I used an old cabinet door that I found at a 
thrift shop as my surface

  
Prepping and base coating my surface


Transferring the design


I started by adding the snowflakes, then trees in the distance


next I started painting the salt boxes


and skating snowmen!



Now to paint more snowmen!







They are 
 so much fun to dress!


Now lets paint a penney rug border!
I used a circle template for this.



I use a fine line writing pen to do the blanket stitch edge around pennies


I added a large snowflake and lots of
diamond dust



This was a fun pattern to paint!
You can purchase
 this e-pattern


Happy Painting!

Thyme to meet FATHER SNOW

DO NOT PIN MY PHOTOS TO PINTEREST
Father Snow is a new design that I just completed for 
Painting With Friends!


I love to go junking for pieces to add to my 
painting "stash"

Old wood antique iron boards make
wonderful surfaces to paint on


I used a very LARGE stippler brush to paint the background


I leave some of the original background showing thru for a nice prim look!
I stenciled on some snow flakes for the background. 
To give your painting depth and dimension paint some of the snowflakes in a lighter shade. They will then appear to be in the distance.


Now the fun part!
Painting the design!


the 
SNOWMAN


 and now to paint
FATHER SNOW!



I love painting BEARDS and FUR!


They take a lot of patience!


Adding some fur and details!



And his face!


and 
CANDY CANE!


The TWIG TREE and SNOWIES!


LOTS 
of
DIAMOND DUST
for
SPARKLE!


   
The
BALSAM Tree


even 
SPARKLES!


I even addded
 tiny BELLS
to
FATHER SNOW'S
shoes!


I also made some
FAUX SNOWBALLS
and
added a tutorial to make them in the pattern packet!



There is a lot of work that goes into a pattern packet
Painting instructions, line drawings and photos!
Typing is my LEAST favorite part of making a pattern packet

It ALWAYS helps to have a room with a view!!!


You may purchase the pattern packet for
FATHER SNOW
in my pattern shop

Happy Painting!
