Christmas Snowflake Decoration

 Hi Everyone,
I love exploring by using different things and I made this snowflake tree decoration from glitter flower stickers by cutting the petals in half and gluing together I layer them onto glitter circle base and created this snowflake.  Why don't you try using something in a different way and see what you come up with.

Tissue Stamping Christmas Cards

Hi Everyone,

We created these cards in class last month using tissue paper and stamps. It's amazing what you can do with a plain piece of tissue paper by colouring, stamping and scrunching, add a piece of ribbon or mesh to give it the finished look. I used bo bunny stamp set for the final layer.

Happy creating
