Use It Tuesday Jan 10: All about Winter

Hello, Everyone! Here's my first challenge as DT of Use it Tuesday! 

I cannot tell you how excited I am to be one of the team!

As a scrapper, we face that most of the time we have aHUGE pile of stash and hoarded supplies from the previous projects. Wondering how to use it, I stumbled upon this wonderful blog owned by Sami and Siobhan. Both of them are the founder of Use it Tuesday! What I love most playing around is these sentences written at the homepage:

 ***REMEMBER: All of our challenges call for you to use your hoarded supplies! A challenge requirement is to tell us in your post what you used!***

Wonderful, isn't it? I challenge myself to join there and I can dig up and use my stash more! Yay!

Here's the first challenge of this 2012: All about Winter

I used the following hoarded supplies:

- stash from Pink Paislee scrapbook paper

- ribbon, been years in my drawer

- a white-purple Prima Flower, since months ago, 

I couldn't find perfect mathcing colors yet until now! :)

- the snowflakes made from brown cut out I bought about six months ago. 

I painted it with white acrylic paint mixed with coarse texture gel and added some glitter before it dried up.

Here's more close up:

I add some chalk ink for the edges of the leaves to create more natural look.

I used clay tool to roll a bit the leaves' edges so they look real. 

 The coarse gel created snowy look on it. 

The glitter added up more sparks under the light. 

Love it!

Hope you can play along!
