This layout shows how to use white rub-ons on a white background, emphasised with Glimmer Mist sprays. I also drybrush emboss this layout too :)

HOW TO
Brush pva around the edge of the cardstock and when tacky use silver foil. When dry, stamp and emboss with silver using the Fancy Pants corner stamp.
Add a rectangle of patterned paper across the centre of the layout. Trim with October afternoon paper and ribbon and pom-pom trim. Sponge white acrylic paint in the centre of the layout and whilst still wet, spray with Glimmer Mist and heat with a heat gun. If you heat it ‘closely and quickly’ the paint will bubble leaving a ‘snowy effect’.
Stamp journaling stamp to the left of rectangle. Cut damask shapes from patterned paper and arrange around the photo to form a frame.
Cut out the centre of a gift tag and glue onto patterned paper. Add a poinsettia, holly leaves, ‘damask leaves’, bauble sticker and twig. Spray with pearl and gold Glimmer Mists. Glue to layout.
Heat emboss Thickers with red powder. When dry, spray with gold Glimmer Mist (it will settle in the bumps).
Apply white rub-ons to white cardstock then spray over with Glimmer mist (silver and pearl). Whilst wet, wipe the glimmer mist from the rub-ons so they ‘pop out’.
Apply two colours of distress ink to the grungeboard and ‘mix the colours’ using glimmer mist (I used Pearl). Add to layout fixing with brads and finish with rub-ons and Damask leaves.
Finish by adding the rest of the title and journaling.
