Today is my turn to share some inspiration with you.
I'm going to share a very simple (and inexpensive) technique to add a wintery feel to your pages and also other ways to add a touch of frost.
Snowflakes are a great design detail for wintery pages. I created a homemade stencil by punching a snowflake in scrap cardstock. Just try to leave as much space around it as possible.
I then spread texture paste through the stencil, but you can use gesso or PVA glue - obviously some mediums are a little easier to work with than others. I created several snowflakes around the page before sprinkling glitter all over.
I left my base to dry naturally, but you could use a heat gun to speed things up.
One of the other things I did to make it more wintery is to ink the title and top off with a little more texture paste and glitter. I just spread the texture paste with a coffee stirrer over the tops of the letters - the messier the better!
You can also add a little 'snow' to the centres of the flowers and leaves.
Thanks for stopping by.
Oooh I have to try that with the snowflakes, Morag. A gorgeous LO, thank you.
