On the 4th Day of Christmas...

 

...my true love introduced to me: Iron Orchid Décor! IOD has the most gorgeous shabby-chic style. Not only do they offer wonderful wood décor pieces, but the  line includes smaller elements, which are perfect for holiday cards, tags, and ornaments! Have you ever tried their easy-to-use Paintable cards? Gorgeous patterns are printed right on the watercolor paper. You can use them as-is, or color them with any of our art mediums for a truly customizable project. (Hint! The Paintables pair beautifully with our new IOD water-soluble Oil Pastels.) Once you are happy with your coloring just embellish with exquisite IOD metals for a true keepsake piece that you will always cherish.

 

"I went romantic with these decorations! I used the IOD Paintables as the base, and cut off the sweet bird houses from the “Secret Garden” set. IOD Oil Pastels were used to color the images lightly. Then, on top, I added the awesome Iron Orchid Décor metal embellishments (lightening them up with White Gesso.) To add a touch of romance to the decorations I added Prima blooms and lace embellishments." ~ Riikka Kovasin

"In this card I tried to recreate the real Christmas Cup vision. What I love about the Paintables are that you can customize them to any colour desired to match the idea of your project. This time I have coloured the cup with the IOD Oil Pastels, that are water soluble. I also managed to include a real candy cane, so someone will, hopefully, REALLY enjoy this card. :)" ~Evgenia Petzer

"Christmas is almost here and it's time to create for it! I made this tag with IOD Paintables as the background, and colored parts of it with Oil Pastels. I added papers from "A Victorian Christmas" collection and embellished with flowers and a metal embellishment. I also colored my ribbon with IOD's Oil Pastels. That's it! Bisous" ~Céline from France <3
