Goodmorning Lovely Friends,

I hope you are having a wonderful day, about a month ago we had some pretty & peacefulness snow here in The Netherlands and I off course had to take some pictures of our daughter in it. {and just like her mom she doesn't like the snow} But lucky me she let me take a couple of nice ones when she wasn't crying because of the cold. Writting this makes me feel like a bad mom taking her out but when the snow was gone and it was freezing one day she said "snow"in the cutest way ever....

You Sparkle:

For this layout I used some pretty 13 Arts papers. This time I wanted some purple papers to match my flowers. This layout is more mixed media of me then I am normally make but it was so much fun and I think I am planning to make more of them. I am always afraid to use more colour on my work because I always think it's to much. All the mixed media products I used are by Finnabair.

The teal flowers are treated with some mica powder to give it the color to match the background. On the background I used a Finnabair stencil called Manuscript I just love all the new stencils....from the Beautiful Board Large Ornate Flourish Clock Lasercut Chipboard I cut out the middle part because I wanted my picture in there I treated the beautiful board with heavy gesso and later on with the amazing nothern light texture effect paste & some acrylic metallique paint called Vintage Rose. At the end I added some snowflake paste to the chipboard and flowers and also some snowballs .

I kept the swirls very clean for me I only added some heavy gesso & snowflake paste. On the flowers I added some white matte wax & from the opal series the Royal Robes so my layout smells so freaking good I just can't stop smelling it lol. I just love that picture of Abbey she is such a sweet little girl.
