I had to read it twice just to make sure I understand it all because English isn't the language I'm used to speak obviously. ;-)<br />Very clever to use a toothbrush! I will try that for sure.

Another tip......If you want to add the snow to certain areas of the card just cut a hole big enough to cover the area out of a sheet of paper. I use fax paper. And then apply the snow that way. You will need to cover all areas on the card that you don't want the snow to go on to though. I just cover what I don't want snow to go onto. I that makes sense?<br />For the die cut snowflake border on this card I used a paintbrush to pick up lumps of the Snow - Tex, and dab it on so as to give a thick texture. <br />Hugs.

Now I know I should use the foam tape more often to create more depth.<br />There is one thing I still don't understand... the snow-Tex is a sort of paste I discovered on youtube so how do you make such a thin layer? <br />Hugs, Jolanda jolandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15250470370526272411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4883208299152494884.post-19439658091379356742017-10-26T12:28:38.629+01:002017-10-26T12:28:38.629+01:00Hi, Jolanda!

He wears beautiful clothing.<br />Could you please tell me how you attach your papers and embellishments? When I look at the bottom picture where the card is shown from the side, it seems like there is no glue used or something like that. For example the tree at the front... it looks like it is only attached at the bottom? With glue? Same with the papers... they look like you just arranged them in a nice way without attachment and that looks so nice!! Thank you in advance!
