Here are some close ups....

I ran out of the Prima glass glitter, so I used TH distressed glass glitter, I do not like the snow texture on its own....

Our local store got the Prima glass glitter- pearl in, so happy!!! I just reapplied the texture & sprinkled on the glass glitter, over a paper plate, so I save the excess! It is this glitter that brings the snow texture to life!

TUT for Shine...

I cut out these circles, primed them with clear gesso, then painted them with a thick coat of clear crackle...

While the crackle was still wet, I placed the DA doily on top. I had cut the doily, primed it with white gesso, painted it with clear crackle, & once the crackle dried, I painted it with LuminArt H20,-Heavenly White

I decided to do the tut, after I got this far, so there is a few missing photos. When the Vintage Artisry Collection came out, Janene said that this Collection is neutral & can be used for any project, so that is why I decided to play with the Collection, for Winter, Christmas LO's & cards. I am very happy I made that choice! I used the 6x6, I cut the Report-BS in half (the bottom layer) distressed the edges & glued it on to card stock. The bottom measures 9.5 inches wide & 6 inches in height. The next layer is 6x6 "the Report-BS),using a ruler, I ripped it at a angle, distressed the edges, then using a brush, I applied the snow texture, & sprinkled on the glass glitter, over the wet snow texture. The top layer is 6x6 tattered-BS, ripped at a angle, distressed edges, applied the snow texture & glass glitter. I then glued on the Mini Icicle, did the same treatment as I did on the doily, but also applied the snow texture & glitter on to the top. I did not cut the rest of the circle, off of the doily, I used it to glue it behind the card....

I cut off the other half of the circle on this doily & glued it onto the card...

I primed the Marrakesh Trellis, then painted it with the LuminArt H20, Heavenly White, once that dried I applied drops of liquid pearls-Robins Egg...

I painted the flowers, with the Heavenly White, then glued some glass glitter on to the flower centers...

I changed the flower centers on the canvas blooms, using Prills-Sage Advice....

Using a brush, I applied snow texture & sprinkled on glass glitter while the texture was still wet...

Applied clear crackle, & placed stars on the wet crackle...

Glued on the Scallop Border ( I did the same as I did on the doily & icicle), & glued on the Marrakesh Trellis...

Started on a cluster, with a bow & altered Rustic Poinsettia Canvas Bloom..

Added garden blooms & paisley...

Added the gem drop border, title, Word Pl@y, leaves,stars & another cluster. I glued some glass beads on to the Marrakesh Trellis. I had primed the title, & gem drop border, with clear gesso, painted them with the DA  mountain meadow paint, then applied clear crackle. Once the crackle dried I painted them with the Robins Egg Liquid Pearls...

Tut for Let it Snow

I Cut the Tattered 6x6 in half, then primed it with clear gesso. Using the DA threaded bead stencil & Dreamweaver translucent texture paste, I did some stencil work on both pieces...

Using a ruler I ripped the 6x6 of the report-BS, distressed the edges, & did some stencil work using DA sparkle stencil & the translucent paste...

I glued these pieces down, width measures 9.5 inches & height is 6 inches... 

Glued on the bottom of the report piece, I painted the stencil work, with the H20 Heavenly White...

Then the scallop border & lace  ( did the same treatment on the chipboard pieces as I did on the card above)....

Glued on the top of the report, I had applied the snow texture & glass glitter, & let it dry before I glued it on...

Primed with clear gesso, then painted with the DA Mountain Meadow. I then painted them, with the clear crackle paint, let dry, then painted them with the Liquid pearls-Robins Egg

Primed with white gesso, then painted with clear crackle, once the crackle dried I painted them with LuminArt H20 Heavenly white...

I traced the circles of the snowman, from scraps I had from the Vintage Artistry Collection & glued these pieces onto the chipboard pieces....

Primed with clear gesso, painted with mixing DA mountain meadow & oceana. I glued the 2 tress together, then painted all of the pieces, with the clear crackle, let dry, then the liquid pearls -Robins egg...
