“What is Christmas without glitter?” You should market that because it’s brilliant and the obvious answer is ‘boring,’ hahahahaha! Beautiful little canvas. I think I’ll give this one a try. Merry Christmas and I hope Santa fills your stocking with wonderful crafty goodies!

[@artfulevidence]

Thank you very much Cathy. Merry Christmas to you too :-)

[@bevsartsandcrafts715]

EXCEPTIONAL LOVELY CARD!! HAVE A MERRY XMAS AND NEW YEAR. I COULD NOT HAVE ASKED FOR A BETTER GIFT THIS LAST YEAR, THEN WATCHING YOU CREATE YOUR WONDERFUL VIDEOS. THANK YOU!

[@artfulevidence]

Awww, thanks Lois, that was lovely to read. I hope you have a great holiday season :-)

[@suebouch4074]

Love, love, love, love, love!! God bless you, Rachel, for another perfectly timed video! I thoroughly enjoyed watching you create this wonderful canvas! I am also happy to see you use patterned paper for the tree and in some of those beautiful Christmas cards. Patterned paper is our friend. LOL Merry Christmas to you, my friend and all the best to you and yours in the new year! Although.... I do hope to see you again before the new year!!! :-)

[@artfulevidence]

Thank you Sue. I have a love, hate relationship with patterned paper - I love how it looks, but it's the one thing I find difficult to use, so have to make a conscious effort to do so. I think it's because all the creativitiy is done already, so I feel like there's nothing to add. Anyway, I can tick the boxes for having used it twice recently, so that's probably enough for one year, lol

[@dolcevitausa6448]

Beautiful...love it

[@pamelaaverill6001]

This is a great video. I love the way you explain and show us everything. I am having a hard time finding the poinsettia stencil. Please let me know if you can help Thanks for the video:)

[@christinesmith989]

I have previously watched and commented on this fab video and would just like to ask, what is the difference between Golden Matt Medium and Soft Get Matt Medium please? I want one to use for both gluing on artwork, and also sealing paper etc. and to be able to add ink over on labels as I have seen you do. Thank you so much. It's been fab watching this video again! xxx

[@carolpiakak3830]

LOVE this project, especially the color scheme. Tfs. What brush are you using for the gesso?

[@artfulevidence]

Glad you liked the project Carol. I don't recall using gesso in this project. However these are the brushes I used : At the start to add the Americana Craft Paint I used a Royal Langnickel, 3/4" Golden Taklon Glaze Brush, and later in the project, I also use a Daler Rowney System 3, Acrylic Brush which is a 1/2" short flat brush (this is the brush with a yellow handle used with Golden Matt Medium at 3.20mins). For painting the texture paste Poinsettias, I use a detail brush which is a Royal Langnickel Zen 1/8" (3mm) Angled Shader. Hope that helps :-)
