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.

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.
ReplyDeleteBut 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.
