Triomino Snowflakes

'Tis the season to be jolly fa la la la la la la la laaaaaa

I have made a couple of tree decorations.
I stuck some peel offs onto triominos then inked them with Tim Holtz Alcohol inks. I don't have a lot of pennies left for the fancy blender and applicator so I improvised. I used isopropyl alcohol instead of the blending solution. It costs about £10 a litre (35floz) instead of £5 for 2 floz for the Tim Holtz one!!!! My applicator was a mushroom brush covered in clingfilm and felt.
It all did the job.
Once dry I took the peel offs, off & covered in stickles then covered in the diamond glaze, that isn't diamond glaze as it's made by Anitas & I can never remember the name of it.


They don't show up to well on the picture but I tried & tried to take a photo & they are just to glossy. These are scanned & the best I could do. You will just have to use a bit of imagination!

It's a brush shaped like a mushroom you clean mushrooms with. Or, as in this house it's a brush shaped like a mushroom that decorates the corner of the kitchen draw!
