Paint on mist.  First I used Lindy's Frost Forest Green.  After that dried, I dabbed on some Ponderosa Pines Olive.  (Note, I used dabber caps on alot of my mists for these kinds of applications.)

Dry brush some white paint on the flowers, pine cones and needles to simulate snow.  Then use Icicle Stickles to detail the pine cones and flowers.  Use Crystal Stickles to detail the pine branches.
