Heres my take on it - you may recognise the postcard bit!

Yes Im still feeling Christmassy! I decided to play about with some boxes covered with handmade paper that some craft supplies came in. Ive used a paint dabber and distress inks to cover the box then over stamped with Archival library green ink using a fir stamp. The postcard I had made for the distress week seemed perfect to add to the box. The lamp post is made of grunge paper and is a Tim Holtz stamp which I have embossed in gold then inked to colour it. It was then cut out and the edges inked some more before adding to the box. Ribbon and snowflake from stash. the snowflake was white but I used alcohol inks to make the colour blend in with all the others. The red glass dots were added for berries and are patties pretties by Kirsty Wiseman.

I havent added wire or ribbon yet but intend to do so. I like it so much I will def keep it for myself and once I decide where its to go I will add ribbon or wire then.

Hope the tutorial has got you fired up to use re cycled products too - the corrugated card was fabulous to use! My Fellow DT chums are soooo talented!

Happy Tuesday! Hope you are having a fun day x
