It's beginning to look alot like Christmas

I bought this fabulous Lantern from a craft show recently where 14 Craft bar has a stall and couldn't resist decorating it up with lots of sparkle, snow effect and hints of glitter,

After I put it together I painted the outer sides with some white Gesso, then when dry I also added some Crackle paste here and there,

I made some Poinsettia's out of watercolour paper then coloured the centres with some ink, then added some stamens which again came from 14 Craftbar, I cut some leaves from the Poinsettia and Winter Leaves dies too in silver card stock, glitter card stock and white,

I had some logs in my stash so I adhered one onto the base on the front, then added another paper Poinsettia on the top, along with some more of the Winter Leaves dies,

I added some bead effect embellishments as well as some white glittery ball stamens here and there,

Then I went over the lantern adding some snow effect paste thickly here and there to give a fallen snow effect,
