Sparkly Pine Cones

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!


I love these botanicuts from The Greetery!


The pine boughs were cut from Neenah and sponged with Distress Oxide ink.
The pinecones were colored with Copics.

I added some Snow-Tex I found on clearance at Michaels to the pine cones
and added some fine glitter.  The pine boughs have glitter too.
