I had seen a tutorial by Julie Buhler on Splitcoast a few weeks ago, and thought it was such a fun idea! Enter my goodies from Gina K and it was a perfect excuse to put together a little photo tin that I'll fill with this years Christmas Memories! I love that since it is made out of tin, it will be nice and durable since I (very affectionatley) am prone to calling my boys "Thing One" and "Thing Two."
This beautiful sleigh is from Rupa's latest set: The Magic of Christmas. I stamped the image directly to my ivory cardstock then again to a piece of scrap paper. I colored the sleigh with my R35 copic marker, then applied a coat of Diamond Glaze and let it dry overnight.
I also used Gina K's new self adhesive rhinestones for the centers of some of the pointsettas on the designer paper I used. The inside is a clear envelope album finished off with jumbo eyelets and a wide grosgrain bow.
This was so easy and fun to make... I could see making lots of these for Christmas presents. Hey, if you're on my shopping list, please disregard that comment and look really really surprised when you get one.. okay?
Have a GREAT day!
