12 Days of Christmas for DominoArt

Welcome and Merry Christmas!  Thanks to the Queen and her very helpful helper bees for hosting this wonderful event!  I made my project the first week of November and it put me in such a holiday spirit:)  So on to the project.....
Supplies:
Giant pieces puzzle
White and blue acrylic paint
Large paint brush
Images from Deary Dolls (such fab stamps and so many freebies I can't keep up!)
Promarkers
Plastic snowflakes in different sizes and colors
Glue
Silver glitter glue
Silver and gold gel pens


I painted the background blue and white.  I did not count on the puzzle pieces swelling slightly and that is why they do not fit together nicely in the photo but as I was going to use them for ornaments it didn't bother me:)  Each image was shrunk to fit the puzzle (I wanted a day on each piece but the puzzle said NO!) and colored with my little 6 Promarkers...they earned their price on this project alone.  I kept the 1st day image larger for the center piece.  Then each day was fussy cut..ugh!..and glued around the 1st day in order...basically/kinda.  Then I added silver glitter glue for snow and put the larger snowflakes on the bulging, swollen connections of my pieces for a camo hide.  I took day 3 and hot glued my ribbon hanger on the back.  And that was the whole project.  Easy, peasy!  A little not what I was going for but it kinda grew on me.  I am planning on having a tree just for these ornaments.  Here are a few more pics and then I am heading to see what the Queen and her sister have made....so excited!

How fun! Great idea using all those adorable images. Good to know about the pieces swelling with the paint as I've just bought one to try and alter. xxD

    My precious grandpuppy, Yoshi! He went through gastrointestinal surgery for an obstruction in August and almost didn't make it. It is now November and he is doing so well just can't eat hard food:( But I love mushing his food twice a day and feeding my beautiful baby boy:)
