Gecko Galz: Frosty Days

 

Hello

The DT at Gecko Galz have had a Secret Santa Swap. 

Here is the handmade item I made for my swap partner.

It's a shadow box that lights up.

I used a small wooden vignette box and built up layers of the same image, decoupage style. I used an image from the Frosty Collage Set.

 I added grit paste with Stampendous glitter mix, mica flakes and tiny rock stones. Concealed behind each layer are tiny lights.

I used 3D embossing folders to make the stonework for the interior walls of the box and the exterior brickwork. Distress Oxides and Distress Crayon provide the colour for the stones and bricks.

I added some die cut foliage, some real cones and some alcohol inked polystyrene balls, to represent holly berries, to one corner., along with a tiny bit of moss.

Here is the box with the lights on.

That's all for now.

Frosty

I'll be back on the 20th December with more Gecko Galz projects.
