Directions:

To begin, prepare your ornament by applying a layer of clear or white gesso to the surface. Allow the gesso to dry or use a heat tool on a low setting.

Next, Add a layer of Shimmering Matte Acrylic Paint in Northern Lights. This will act as a base to the polishing plaster that you will texturize.

Use a palette knife to dab Frosted Pine Polishing Plaster on to the surface and edges. This will create the texture. Allow this to dry or use a heat tool on a low setting.

Once the textured surface is dry, use a sponge to dab Dove's Wing Polishing Plaster to the surface and edges leaving some green peeking through. This will create a snowy look.
