Hi everyone! Heather here. We recently moved to a new house, and I wanted to commemorate the first snowfall at the our new place. It rarely snows in Louisiana, but it snowed twice last winter. I used the House DIY Pallet Shape from Clear Scraps as the base for this project. I painted the entire shape white, and once it was dry I used blue and green mist to add color in a diagonal line across the project.
Next, I decided to paint the Home Chipboard Word Title with Brown Sugar acrylic paint from Jenny Bowlin. It took two coats to be happy with the coverage. I let it dry completely between coats.
I knew that I was going for a snowy theme with less traditional color choices, so I decided to cut a few snowflakes on my Circuit to add to the wintery feeling. The snowflake files I used are from Miss Kate’s Cuttables.
I cut and adhered the papers from Glitz Design’s Dapper Dan collection in the following order: The woodgrain paper is 5.5×12 inches, the multicolored arrow paper is an embellishment piece from the Dapper Dan line’s “Bits and Pieces”, the blue paper measures 3.25×8.25 inches, and the green paper is 4.5×12 inches. I inked all of the edges before I glued them down with adhesive.
I matted two square 4×4 inch photos, and one 3.25×4 inch picture to remember our snowy adventures, and I decided to tuck a scalloped border strip measuring 1.5×12 inches behind the photo mat to add more interest.
Last but not least, I added my die cut snowflakes and the chipboard home title. I sprinkled some Winter Sequins from Clear Scraps across the project to add to the snowy feel, and I used a few stickers to expand on my title.
Here's a look at the final project!
