Let it Snow ***7 Dots Challenge Oct-Nov****

Hello,here is a LO I did for the 7 Dots Oct-Nov Challenge,using texture. It is a LO I did,without having my photo,& as I needed the snow!!!! So that is how I came up with the title!!! This year instead of throwing out all of my flowering cabbages, I saved them & made Winter Gardens,combining them with pine.As you can see,we got some snow,so I was to complete my LO...

Here are some closeups of detail.....

I loved the 7 Dots paper,as was,so all I did was apply clear crackle,were Finn already had used the crackle.Using white Corrugate Paper,I played with color,then a coat of clear crackle & glitter,as shown in the 2nd last layer on the bottom. I also applied some white sand texture paste & more glitter......

For the tile I used winter pine TA,& Wild plum color wash,I then applied a coat of crackle. Once the crackle dried I dry brushed on some gesso to bring out the cracks & to tone down the color. I also applied white sand texture paste & glitter to the top. I applied clear crackle to the fence,wagon wheels decorative frame& branches. Once the crackle dried I brushed on some cinder TA,removed the excess,let dry,then dry painted on some gesso. I also applied the white sand texture paste onto the top of the wagon wheel,decorative frame & branches....

I used Cinder TA,on the chicken wire,glued it down,then glued some crystal glass beads into the chicken wire. I used Cinder TA on the stem of the wattle blossom. I stained the blossoms with wild plum,then a coat of clear varnish,sprinkled on glitter & micro beads while the varnish was wet. Once that had dried I applied white sand texture & glitter....

The plum flowers are prima & the green flowers under are DA,I glued the 2 together to make them look like the cabbages,then applied white sand texture ....I used white crackle on the snow flakes....

On the lower photo,I dipped burlap string into gesso that is in the tags...& painted the burlap with gesso,that is behind the photo....

Thank you so much for taking the time to look....Rachelle
