Happy Birthday Superhero

So my favorite SIL gave me a set of Peerless Watercolors to try out and I'm so grateful she did!  They color is amazing and vibrant and they are so portable. This is my very first My Favorite Things stamp that I got for Christmas and I couldn't wait to color him up.

Snowman Candy Dish

I saw this really cute snowman come across my Facebook newsfeed over the weekend and thought... I have everything laying around to make one, why not?

So I dug out some old projects that were incomplete and decided to turn it into something cute and useful =)

I had started to make a Halloween candy dish a couple years ago but never finished it.  

I hate painting with a brush as it leaves streaks behind, so I used my eBrush Siphon kit to paint the terra cotta pot white.   

I though it would be hard to hide the orange and black, but it only took two quick coats and it's completely covered.  








I then decided to paint the bottom rim blue to match the hat (lid).  The little ball on top was sanded down to sit flush on the lid.  It got a couple coats of white, then lightly airbrushed it with the blue metallic paint.  Around the brim of the hat I used some Glistening Snow-Tex with white paint to create the fluffy texture of a hat.

The snowman's face was a clear candle holder from the Dollar Tree.  I sandblasted it to give it the frosted look.  

I found a cute little snowman face online and traced that in SCAL and cut it using masking vinyl.  

I applied it to the jar and used my eBrush and Sharpies to color the eyes and nose.

Tied a cute ribbon for a scarf and added a few buttons.  Now it just needs some candy =)

Supplies used:
Martha Stewart Pearl Acrylic Paint (Aquarium)
Vintage White Acrylic Paint
White Acrylic Paint
Glistening Sow-Tex Glittering Snow
E-6000 Glue
Terra Cotta Pot and base
Glass candle holder
eBrush and Siphon Adapter
Sharpie Markers
White Enamel Elements
Buttons
Peanuts Ribbon
Wood ball

What I'm thankful for...

As October comes to an end, I'm looking forward to the holidays.  During the month of November I will be adding a new thing I'm thankful for to this little pumpkin.  This pumpkin started out as a blank chalkboard pumpkin I picked up at Joann's.  First I covered it with a layer of gesso then added quite a few layers of orange paint.  

I thought the cute little Sunflower Crow from KaDoodle Bug Designs would be the perfect addition to this project.  All the sunflowers, leaves and pumpkins were accented using my eBrush and Sharpies and Bic Mark-Its.

I then cut some leaves from the Nut'n Better Than Fall set and used that as a stencil with some texture paste to give them added dimension.  I used my eBrush to give the leaves their beautiful coloring.

The clothespin was also colored with my eBrush (nothing is safe from this must have piece of equipment!!).  I tied on a little bow at the stem for a finishing touch.  I LOVE this little decor item and can't wait to display it in my house.

Thanks for stopping by!
