Hey Guys! It's that time of the day again! Another '12 Days Of Craftmas' challenge entry! We finally got the last 5 prompts for the year! :sweat_smile: And today's promt was stars!

Now, since I'm starting to get the hang of resin and I happened to have a star bezel lying around, I decided to do this little resin Christmas star! :sparkles:

To get started, I got my clear non-residue tape and my star bezel and made sure all the edges were sealed by pushing it down with my fingers. I then added some clear resin for the first layer and let that cure! I decided to use my new red opaque pigment to get a nice, bold colour but, from lack of experience, it backfired. :satisfied: I split a blob of resin into three parts(One for each part of the star). I made a Christmas red using the pigment, a Christmas green using glitter and a silver using my fine pearl pigment. So, here's where the first disaster struck! I may have added too many drops of pigment, despite of the instructions, because I wasn't getting the bright Christmas red I was hoping for. So, when it came to pouring the three colours in, it was way too watery and it spread out so fast I didn't have enough time to pour in the other two without it flooding into the other areas.(I'm not sure if that is what happened but it is the most likely reason). I managed to move it into place using my tools but I still wasn't happy with how the colours were not equal sizes. So, with a tooth pick, I did one big swirl,mixing all the colours, which made a big difference! :blush: I then put it out to cure but, after a while, the red part of the star was sticky! It wasn't because I left it out for not long enough, because the other two where dry. It was, again, due to too much pigment. So, I decided to just add a final coat to dome it and, while I was there, I added some diamonds for a 3D look. :kissing_closed_eyes:

Thank you so much for coming by! I will see you guys tomorrow! Bye! :wave: :wave:

:gift: :christmas_tree: Merry Christmas to you all! :christmas_tree: :gift:
