Tutorial

Where I live, we get WINTER, snow & cold. Our days are short, & I spend much more time, inside our home, so I do more Scrapbooking, in the winter months, to pass the winter away. I love to work on winter LO's because of the Snow Texture. You may find my tuts confusing, because I do them, in the order, that I have taken the photos. I have so much on the go, when I am working on a project, plus I have to allow pieces to dry. I do not use a heat gun, I let the pieces dry naturally, either in my front south window, when the sun is out, or my bedroom closest, the smallest warmest room in our home. It has a floor heater, so a placed a rack over top it, & will place pieces of the projects, on that, to allow quicker drying. I also, depending on my day, may have missed a few photos, so I apologize for that.

I painted the small,& large wreath, string & pearls with clear gesso, then glued on some burlap string, & pearls. I painted all of this with the clear gesso again Once the gesso dried I randomly painted them with clear crackle...

Primed the FF"In the Garden-BS" with clear gesso, let dry then did some stencil work, using the DA Bubbles Stencil, & translucent embossing paste...

shows stencil work...

I painted the flowers, with LuminArt H20, Heavenly White, to give them shimmer, & changed the flower centers, using Prills-Sage Advice....

Glued lace, onto a piece of card stock, that I had cut into a circle

Using a brush, I applied  Prima snow texture & sprinkled on the glass glitter, on the wet texture, to the outside edges of the flowers....

Glued the Flower Fairies circle, onto the lace & card stock....

Glued the holly flourish onto the berry wreath. I primed the flourish with the clear gesso...

Primed with clear gesso, & painted with clear crackle...

Painted the Holly flourish, with altering DA paints, Oceania, & Mountain Meadow...

Painted clear crackle, on to the Holly Flourish...

Applied Prima Soft Gel, to the BS of the FF circle,,,

& glued it on to the corrugated paper, that I had cut into a circle ( I put a weight on this until the gel dried). I primed the corrugated with the clear gesso, then painted it with clear crackle. I sprinkled on some mini art stones, while the crackle was still wet. I also primed the lace, with the clear gesso, Once every thing dried, I painted the stencil work, lace & corrugated  paper with Shimmerz Inklings Sheer Bliss,to give it shimmer...

I painted these pieces, with Inklings Spotlight white, but was not happy with the color so went over it with the LuminArt Heavenly white...

Painted the lace & stencil work with the sheer bliss...

Glued lace under the corrugated paper, primed it & painted it with sheer bliss...

Glued the berry wreath onto the back ground...

then the smaller wreath..., I painted the Holly Flourish with Liquid Pearls-Robins Egg, then applied snow texture on the wreaths, flourish & the outside edge of the corrugated paper 

Started the flower clusters...

Added more flowers

Glued on the title

Glued on some foliage...

Glued on some pinecones, that I sprayed with a acrylic sealer, then primed with clear gesso. I then painted them with the LuminArt Heavenly white, & applied, using a brush, the snow texture &sprinkled on glass glitter on to the wet texture...

Stitched & glued on the hanging piece & bow..

Took photos outside, staging it with the handmade doily, that I found @ a second hand store for 25 cents, & placing on a round place mat, to stage the photo, then I thought this frames the wreath so I decided to use this as a back ground...

I primed the doily & place mat with the clear gesso, once the gesso dried I painted the doily & matt with the sheer bliss...

Applied snow texture & glass glitter to the outside edges of the mat, I do sections, over a paper plate, using a paint brush to apply the snow texture, then sprinkling on the glass glitter, while the texture is still wet. I tip the project, as I am doing this, so I can keep the excess glitter, I bend the plate & pour it back into the jar...

No sun out today, so into the closet it goes!!!!

Believe in the magic of the season.....Rachelle
