Since I did two groups of projects for the 12 Days of Christmas Swap I wanted to give two different pictures for the 12th gift. Yesterday I posted the first one which you can find HERE. Here is the second picture from day 12 of the 12 Days of Christmas swap. This one is a cold winter lake.

10. Remove the Post-It note mask.
11. Remove the Post-It notes from the bottom and re-position them to cover the top portion of the card stock. Cut the sticky part of two Post-It notes with Paper Snips in a curvy line. Place these over the bottom of the card stock. This will be the snowy bank of the lake.

16. Place two more Post-It notes along the horizon line covering the bottom portion of the card stock.
17. Ink up the top of the pine tree from Lovely as a tree with Basic Black ink. Stamp just the top portion of the tree several times across the edge of the Post-It note. Remove the mask. This creates a forest on the far side of the lake.
18. Take one of the curvy Post-It notes and position it in the remaining white portion of the card stock.
19. Sponge Bashful Blue ink just at the Post-It note edge to create a snow mound.
20. Remove the mask, re-position it, and sponge another snow mound. Repeat until you have the desired look.
21. Stamp the pine tree from Lovely as a Tree in Black Stazon ink onto the card stock.
22. Color in the trunk of the tree with Basic Black Marker. Color in the pine needles with Always Artichoke, add snow onto the pine branches with the White Gel Pen. Add lines to the water with the White Gel Pen. Apply Tombow Multi-Purpose Adhesive onto the snow mounds and the snow on the tree and cover with Dazzling Diamonds glitter. Allow the adhesive to dry completely. Insert the card stock into the picture frame.
Tie a bow with 5/8" Bashful Blue Satin ribbon. Adhere to the frame with Mini Glue Dots. Cut one snowflake from Bashful Blue card stock and one from Whisper White card stock using the Northern Flurries Die in the Big Shot. Spray the snowflakes with shimmer mist. Use the Paper Piercer and Mat Pack to pierce a hole in the center of the snowflakes. Insert a silver Glimmer Brad into the hole. Adhere the snowflakes onto the bow with Mini Glue Dots.
