Frosted Floral Pine Tree Project

I went to our local hobby store to get another artist canvas and happened to walk by this unfinished pine tree.  I thought it might make for a fun project, to kind of tie in with my other Frosted Floral projects, so I added it to my cart.  Here's what I created with it.

I started out by giving it a coat of white gesso.  Once that dried, I added my DSP strips, one section at a time (already cut to size), attaching with clear gesso.  I carefully smoothed it out, so there would be no wrinkles or bubbles and made sure none of the edges were sticking up.  After it dried, I added a top coat of clear gesso.

When I added the final top coat of clear gesso, I decided to sprinkle Dazzling Diamonds glitter all over it, while the gesso was still wet.  In real life, it's covered with a gorgeous glimmer.

The snowflakes were cut from White Velvet Sheets (from our Snowflake Showcase).  I used a combination of sizes and styles of snowflakes, cut from our Beautiful Blizzard die (It makes a bunch of snowflakes all at one time!) as well as the snowflake dies from our Snowflake Showcase.  I saved the extras for another project.  What a fun little craft break!
