Frosted Pinecones

Frosted Pinecones Bundle

 If you like using masks for coloring, you will love this bundle!  The definition created with each layer is just stunning (but then again.... I LOVE pinecones). 

In the below YouTube tutorial, I will show you how to shade your pinecone AND how to make it look like it has snow too!



Frosted Pinecones Bundle

For the first pinecone, I only used masks numbered 1-4.  I used Peaceful Pine for the ribbon and Adhesive Backed Gold Dots for my embellishment.

For the snowy pinecone I used all the masks number 1-5.  I also used the Peaceful Pine ribbon, as well as the Adhesive Backed Snowflakes as my embellishment.

Winter Adventures in Pretty Peacock

Winter Adventures Bundle + Whispering Woods DSP

 This simple card was one of the make n' takes that my crafty friends got to make at my catalog launch party.  The DSP steals the show and makes this card so simple to recreate.  Be sure to look at all the prints online.... every sheet of this paper is just beautiful.  Link is at the end of this post.

Winter Adventures Bundle + Whispering Woods DSP

The snow bank and trees are part of the print on the DSP.  The snowbank was the perfect location for the sentiment.  I cut out two trees from the detail dies (one outside & one inside).  I adhered one of the trees over a printed tree to give the tree more dimension.  Added snowflakes using the detailed dies and added a small iridescent pearl to the center.  The card front is matted with Pretty Peacock, on a Pretty Peacock card base.
