Unwrapping the Magic: Nutcracker Soldiers on Day Four of Our 12 Days of Christmas

Hello everyone! Myry here, and I'm thrilled to share my very first Christmas project as part of Perfect Paints' 12 Days of Christmas celebration! The holiday season is a time for creativity and joy, and what better way to embrace the festive spirit than by getting crafty with some unique decor? This year, I'm excited to feature a timeless classic: the Nutcracker. I'll be painting a charming wooden soldier using the enchanting Shimmering Matte Acrylics, which promise to bring this holiday icon to life with a touch of sparkle. So, gather your supplies and join me on this colorful journey as we spread some Christmas cheer through art!

As you can see, I reversed the colors for the other soldier. I think it's better to make a combination like this than to paint them both the same way.

A sweet pink "Ballet Slipper" and a glamy turquoise "Sea Glass" for a very shabby chic style. 
What can I say, I love it!
I hope you have a good time!
