check out this handmade Flowersoft video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_tz3P9NOcY&feature=player_embedded)

I thought those of you making snowy cards might be able to try it out.

That is too cool! I bet it would look cool if you sprayed it with the shimmer mist paints.

I am sending my DH to the dollar store or walmart for styrofoam balls- I am going to try it for snow for sure and maybe color some with all of these shimmering bottles of spray stuff that are just sitting here!
TFS!

IT is way cool!!! Yesterday I made four little pots. White of course, and red, green and blue! I have used the wite on a Santa card that intend to post in a few minutes. It is so easy to do and if you have a craft sheet it works great. Just try not to sneeze or breathe too hard! lol

Cant wait to see how it is working for everyone. I want to try and get some styrofoam from the florist....we don't have a Michael's or Joanne's or even a craft store. I am hoping can get a little from local florist. Be sure and post how it works, I am anxious to see everyone's posts.

Tried the styrofoam snow! I add a little MS fine glitter to it! Looks pretty good.
Of course while I was working I sent my DH on the search for the styrofoam balls-he did not go to the dollar stores but Walmart and 6 small(much smaller than ones she was using) were over 4.00. But the effects is pretty esp on darker papers.

Ok I have been using syrphome shavings for a long time with other crafting needs but have not seen flowersoft and would not spend $7-$8 per jar of it thanks for the link.

It is I will try to get a pretty pic- it is one of MS glitters that came in the snow pack last year and has just a little sparkle.

I've made my own and I really like it. It has a different texture than flower soft, it's more flake like. Regular flower soft has a sponge like texture to it.

Really great. I bought some flower soft and thought it was expensive for such a small amount. This is a great way to make your own. Thanks.
