Hello all! Thank you so much for your lovely comments on my Blustery Candle Jar. As promised, I've got some bushier branches for you today. However, they're not here I'm afraid... you'll need to hop over to the Country View Crafts Projects Blog. I've been playing with Tim's new Vintage Platinum Glitter Dust for the first time, and after a brief skirmish with the traditional red, green and gold, I'm back in my Christmas neutrals comfort zone today.
I hope you'll have time to hop over and check out my sparkling woodlands... I think the Glitter Dust does make them slightly magical, and they're not really that far away either (but I couldn't resist the Enid Blyton reference). I hope you're all enjoying a lovely weekend... not many of them left before Christmas now!! I'm back tomorrow with a very festive post, so happy crafting until then.
The best Christmas trees come very close to exceeding nature.

I've just been over to the full reveal Alison and naturally is quite stunning, a wonderfully rustic feel and the simple sentiment goes so well.

Your tag looks wonderful. Your background
looks gorgeous. Your tag has glitters but it's not to shinning.
Everything fits perfectly. I just kept on looking because
your tag is great.
Very beautiful tag Alison and great words today :)
Love Chrissie xx
I believe your brother would love to get this for Christmas! Enchanting (of course, given where the trees must be situated :-) )

Just been to Country View blog to examine the details and this is so much better than red and green... the layers of white splatters etc.. make for a gorgeous but subtle background and oh! that glitter, it might just overcome my love/hate relationship with the stuff!
Ohhhh Yummy textures!! off for a closer look!! xo
Wow Alison, what a gorgeous tag!! That background is incredible, the shimmer from the white DecoArt mister shows up really well! Love the layered trees, adding that die to my wish list for sure!! Another stunning wintery creation! hugs :)
The glitter looks fab - havn't managed to acquire yet...
It looks amazing here, and it is, also over there, what a gorgeous and beautiful Christmas tag ,Alison.
Dorthe, xx
Wouldn't these about 5 feet tall look FABULICIOUS in the yard for a Christmas decor? I can't imagine the truck loads of glitter it would take to cover them, but a handmade holiday scene like this would be a knock out!!! With rustic wood reindeer and tummies all aglow snowmen and ALL based off of your tag. A girl can dream and like you said, it's the season for miracles...
HUGS!
Oh cripes...I just remembered they have spray glitter in cans now....problem resolved!
Oooh superb xx
Always love your way with neutrals, and this is a very intriguing sneak peek! Off to the the whole story - xxx Lynn
Beautiful trees Alison. Shhhh, do not tell anyone, but I bought this die set a few weeks ago!!! Keep my secret, but I needed something to cheer me up!!
