This was a fun easy relaxing class Katrina.  I used embossing powder for the star.  I haven’t used it in 15 years and my emboss pen was still liquid enough.  When I was applying the gouache snow with toothbrush, it was splattering really fine faint snow.  I tried 3 different toothbrushes and a texture splatter brush, all to no avail.  I then thought I would try my W&Newton white gouache and that did the trick.  The gouache I used first was from US Art Supply and I don’t think it is a very good gouache. I think I will take it out of my rotation for use.  It is almost gone anyway.  It’s great that I was able to rectify this problem as I have had issues using white gouache on other paintings.  Never really goes on good, now I know why.  

Thanks for offering this wonderful class to create a beautiful Christmas outdoor scene.  Diana :)
