It's a Wee Chilly!

It's just a wee chilly today on my blog!  OMG!  Aren't these little pine trees just the cutest things ever!  And look at those darling little bare trees.  They're just so little and cute and perfect for a winter landscape.  These awesome little trees are from Wee Scapes and we have had so much fun collaborating with them this past week at Stampendous.

This is my little shadow box I've created using a Tim Holtz Configurations box, some craft paint, Wee Scapes and Stampendous goodness!  Here's a breakdown of what I did.  First I painted the boxes with baby blue and white craft paint.  Next I trimmed my trees to fit and using Beacon Adhesives Zip Dry I added Stampendous Multi Ultra Fine Crystal Glitter on all the trees.  I stamped my images, colored them with Copics and cut them out leaving a tab on the bottom that could be folded to help the images stand alone.  I glued my trees in along with my images and then added Cotton Ball White Fun Flock from Stampendous.  It was a little time consuming but so worth it, I love how it looks completed!  I've included a close up of each individual box.




 As I completed each box, I know my smile just got bigger and bigger!  I really love how this turned out!  The stamp sets I used are Winter Trees Perfectly Clear Stamps (PCS) and Snow Place PCS.  

The flock added just the right touch of fluffy whiteness and really gave it a realistic snow drift kinda look!  I love the little house nestled in among the drifts in the bottom, it just looks so cozy.


So, if you want to be eligible to win one of the prizes this week, you must leave a comment on each blog.  Here's the complete list of my teammates playing along today.  Be sure to check them all out and leave some love as you go along.

We've certainly enjoyed playing along with Wee Scapes this past week.  I hope you've enjoyed the inspiration.  Thanks for stopping by and I'll see you again soon!

Lea
