On winter LO's I love to do lots of paper layers, just as you would bundle up to go outside. I always distress the edges, & Maja Papers are the softest, best quality papers, that distress beautifully....

I also did some hand stitching, & used some lace & chipboard in the layers...

I painted the chipboard with white crackle, then once the crackle dried,I applied snow texture, & glass glitter...

I love the postage stamps, on the die cut sheet. The flowers are petaloo, I also applied snow texture, & glitter on the flowers...

I was trying to achieve the crystal look, of the snow taffy, with the glass glitter...

Shows,glass beads glued into the chicken wire...

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