Mountain Ash - Berries and Snowflakes

 

I've been meaning to use this image ( Mountain Ash) for ages and had it all coloured up. I added lots of glitter to the berries and then wanted it to really "shine" so I added Glossy Accents on top of the glitter but only on alternate berries and left it to dry. Then I added it to the rest of the berries, and that way the Glossy Accents stayed looking like berries and didn't run into one big "pool".

The snowflakes are from a Tonic Studio Multi Detail Punch and I've used 2 layers and added Stickles all round the edges. In the centre I drew a little berry and gave it the same "treatment" as the berries in the image.

You can see the effect in more detail in the close up below.

    This looks absolutely stunnign Ruth and how you did the berries worked beautifully - I am certain I would have done all the berries in one go and ended up with that bog pool

    I think I must have missed this image, it's very delicate and pretty.
