Hello, Rachelle here, with a Winter LO I did using the Beautiful Home for the Holidays & Vintage frost Basics Collections. I love working on Winter LO’s, even if it is not one of my favorite seasons. Our days are starting to get longer, & warmer, so Spring is in the air!!!

I used: A real Fellow,Never to Old-BS,Celebration,& Die cuts

I Used: 14th of Dec-BS

The Chipboard used is from Dusty Attic

Here are some closeups

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 taffey, with the glass glitter…

Shows,glass beads glued into the chicken wire…

This is a LO I did combining the Vintage Summer Basics,Vintage Spring Basics & Vintage Autumn Basics Collections..

From the Vintage Summer Basics I used: 1905,1932-BS,& 1903 From the Vintage Spring Basics I used: 1st of March, & 10th of March Vintage Autumn Basics I used: N0. XVI

Thankyou so much for taking the time to look….Rachelle

Shows, distressed hand stitched layers. I also did some punch work, & placed doily’s in the layers. Maja Design papers are the best quality, distressing papers, I have ever worked with!

I did some stencil work, using DA heart attack stencil, & dream weaver crackle texture..

On the feather I used clear crackle, then once the crackle dried I rubbed in some chalk to bring out the cracks. I also inked the edges using a brown ink pad…

The flowers used are Prima & IamRoses..

For the pink used on the chipboard I used shabby pink smooch. On the berries & the beads, on the feather charms,I also applied drops of glossy accents…

Here are some more close ups…
