I'm travelling into a new way of working, a new country, a new language, and a new hobby which I'm passionate about. Come with me for some of the journey...

Sparkling Snow

Hello all!  I hope all your festive preparations well on the way to completion.  We'll be heading out to find a tree in the next couple of days (if it stops raining) ready for decorating probably this time next week, and then sitting back to dream of a white Christmas.  The theme at PaperArtsy this fortnight is Sparkle, and for me there was only one choice at this time of year... snow!


My project over at the PaperArtsy blog this evening is full of sparkling snow, so rather than the real thing (which I know can be a nuisance in real life), why not hop over there to enjoy the faux version?  If you want to see the candle lit, you'll simply have to hop!

Oh, and if you're a miniatures fan and you'd like a bit more entertainment, there's a new, highly theatrical post to enjoy over at Cestina's Dollshouses too.

Thank you so much for stopping by today and for hopping.  I'll be back with another seasonal offering in a few days, so I shall hope to see you again then.

The snow is sparkling like a million little suns.

I love Lynne Perrella and you certainly made a sparkle page that should make her happy. It certainly is a beautiful snowy scene. I hope your rain stops so you can get your tree and enjoy that sparkle too. Happy new week. Hugs-Erika

I've never heard of Distress Dry Glitter, but I certainly adore the way you used it. I also LOVE the way you used the tissue paper for bulk. It's certainly cheaper than texture paste.

I am a big fan of Lynne Perrella, too. I recently received some Paper Artsy red rubber stamps of hers and was so pleased with how well they stamped.

LOVE the arches. Of course, I am a big fan of attention to detail, so your use of paint on the back of the triptych is something I deeply admire. This turned out fantastic, Alison, and I'm glad I hopped, too.

Alison it is a gorgeous Triptych and like glittering snow fallen onto it all night- beautiful idea with the Lynne Perella city - with the flying air balloon there. It must look so amazing with the candle lit .
Alison again a very Merry Christmas to you, and blessings for all the best in 2020 . Hugs, Dorthe

Popped over and Brrrrr...you nailed that snow! The sparkle is delightful and love the candle! The blues are so you and so transforming into a wintry world...like on Frozen! You have your Mother's touch on mini works of art!

Love what I see here, and from the looks of the comments, I better make some time to hop over to the post. Hope to get to that a little later today. For now, this is a beautiful scene, and I've enjoyed my brief catch up with your blog and brilliant makes this morning! Hugs!

So lovely and winterly. I love how stamps become actors in your projects. They take on new personalities under your direction. Love the glow from candle light. Great make. -- ME
