Santa's Sleigh - Flying Unicorn December KOM

The December Your Passion, Your Art main kit from Flying Unicorn comes with an adorable wooden sleigh for you to alter to your tastes. For me, I wanted to go for something rusty, grungy and glorious!

Here is the finished project:

Lots going on here - I just kept building up layers until I was in love with it. I started by running foil tape through a snowflake embossing folder, then adhered that to the sleigh. You don't have to worry about your embossed images not lining up on the seams - you truly will not be able to notice at the end. I then painted over the foil tape with Gloss Gel mixed with Pearl Ex, and once that was dry, misted liberally with a dark grey mist to accentuate the contours of the embossed snowflakes. I again let it air dry (to prevent bubbling) before going back in and adding Izink in red and brown.

While the body of the sled was drying, I worked on the skids, painting them with Inka Gold, adding some grungy stamping with black ink and some metallic stickers and Ingvild Bolme Junkyard Findings.

I added faux tacks to the sides of the sleigh with a pearl pen, and finished it off with resin swirls from the kits sprayed with black and gold mists and some G45 drawer pulls flipped upside down dabbed with gesso.
