It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Happy December!  I just love this time of the year!  We spent a good bit of time over the weekend decorating for Christmas.  And I spent a good bit of time today finishing it up while baking cookies. 

I have a project to share today.  I bought these wooden snowflakes at Michael's to give as gifts (or keep for myself!).  First, I painted both sides white and then used VersaMagic chalk ink in Jumbo Java to distress the edges.  I then applied Martha Stewart coarse glitter to each and added K&Co stickers to the centers.  I gave a coat of Glossy Accents to the vintage images to add some dimension. 



Here are the unfinished snowflakes.

This one I added some Recollections rhinestones, silver-wired ribbon, and a little silver bell attached with twine.

I love the delicate shape of this one so kept the embellishing to a minimum.

And this one was finished off with a little red bow, gold and silver jingle bells and red and white twine.

I apologize for the poor quality of the photos.  I had a difficult time photographing the glitter.  Thanks for stopping by!
