Let It Snow for early skiing!

Hi there! 

The ski season has started here in Vermont.  Actually the first opening was here in Killington on the third of November.  A bit earlier than usual.

That news prompted me to use the KLM Digital Design pre-colored Gnome Skier image from the November release.

I had just received an order of new supplies, one being the Ranger Sparkle Texture Paste. The lesson learned here was less is more. This paste has a much looser consistency, so less is necessary. I used a bit of a heavy hand, initially, and the paste moved UNDER the stencil. It dries with a very glossy finish so the result on some of the flakes is a bit blurred. 

Anyway, the background was brushed with Speckled Egg and Blueprint Sketch Distress Ink, the hill was cut with an MFT die. I believe the little trees are Poppy Stamps Dies. Let it Snow is from the SU set Tiny Talk and is embossed in Liquid Platinum. The stitching lines were made with the Wonky Stitched Rectangle dies from MFT stamps. The snowflake stencil is a Tim Holtz product THMM133.

So, if you're not hitting the slopes, grab some supplies and start creating!
