HAPPY NEW YEAR

We would like to wish everyone a wonderful 2017.

This year is going to be super amazing

We have a few changes to our Ultra talented Design Team, first off we are saying a few "see ya soon" as some of the 2016 Team are taking a break from Scrapping due to family, holiday and work commitments but they will be back ....

either later on this year or even 2018. 

And we say farewell to Valia due to illness, our Grecian goddess has finished all of her DT commitments including Dusty Attic.

Shows stencil work using the DA bubble stencil, & translucent paste. Once the paste died I painted the stencil work with the LuminArt-Heavenly white H20. I primed all of the chipboard with clear gesso, except for the snowflakes & Icicles I primed them with white gesso....

I painted most of the chipboard with clear crackle, then once the crackle dried, I painted the pieces with the LuminArt-Heavenly White, or the liquid pearls-robins egg...I also painted the flowers with the heavenly white, for shimmer...

I applied the snow texture (using a brush), & sprinkled on glass glitter on to the wet glitter. I did this on to some areas of the chipboard & on to the flowers...

Here are some more close ups...

Thank you so much for taking the time to look & I am looking forward to seeing what you come up with, with this months challenge. All the best for 2017....Rachelle
