"It's the SEASON to Sparkle"
Layout and tutorial by Marie Sabatier

Hello everyone,

This is my first inspiration from this month of February.

A winter layout with a photo of my granddaughter that I made using a photo editing application. 
The colors were my inspiration. 

"It's the SEASON to Sparkle"




    I made a video tutorials that you can watch HERE




  
    The chipboard used:



Once I chose the chipboards, especially these magnificent "majestic-reindeer", 
I start by applying a layer of white gesso. 
I use glitter embossing powder of the brand "Stampendous" on chipboards "snowflakes".


I start by painting the reindeer with a first coat of white creamy acrylic paint. When I realized my layout, I realized that it was really too 'white'. I apply a layer of metallic wax "Acid" color on one of them. 
To soften, I reapply a layer of white gesso.


I insert two branches of "winter-twig-branches" in the middle of my cluster.


 I also used a 'Midnight' metallic wax to embellish the title "It's the SESAON to Sparkle" and brushed it with white gesso to break up the overly shiny effect.



Watching the video is a good way to get more detail.

It's always a pleasure to meet you here!
