I've got a festive gift idea for you using tissue wrap. I wouldn't call it a lightbulb moment, so much as a candle beam of an idea... but I hope it inspires you to play. Hop on over to take a look at my experiments.
It's been very festive on the Vintage Journey just recently. If you missed yesterday's Secret Santa sharing, I would love it if you have time to take a look at my offering for that.
It's one of my favourite recent makes, and there's even another touch of tissue wrap inspiration to be found there.
You'll also find a link so that you can see all the other Vintage Journey Design Team Secret Santa Deliveries - and if you hop around to the whole team, you could be in with a chance to win one of the fabulous prizes in our Christmas Giveaway!
Check it all out on A Vintage Journey for Father Christmas.
I'll be a candle holder and look on.
From Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare
If you don't mind hopping over to A Vintage Journey to see them in full, I'd love to enter my candlelit musical jars at Inspiration Emporium for their Sing, Sing It Loud theme this month.

I did miss yesterdays post I'm afraid Alison, in fact missed a good few from many the last week or so due to Blogger issues combined with a dodgy computer.
But I have taken a peek and what a stunning piece of artwork and now I am off to look at today's which looks equally amazing from the peek.

I have done a few things with empty containers and jars and with tissue wrap, but never thought about adding that to a jar! Now you got me all inspired and thinking! Love these altered and most gorgeous jars, Alison! Hugs!

Two wonderful sneak peeks oh!!... I'm off to read and see both, even more as I'm curious to know how you have integrated tissue wrap on these new amazing creations!

I've just been to see your lovely lanterns Alison...they look absolutely magical, with all that scrummy texture & sparkle! xxx
They were pretty with just the tissue, but then you made them spectacular! I can't decide which one is my favorite. I always like to read your creative journey.
Just popped back from having a look at your beautiful tea light holders - loved the originals, but stunning finished designs.
