Candy Christmas Shadow Box

 More supplies arrived this morning from Craft Consortium so it woud have been ungrateful not to play, wouldn't it? I got 6 x6 papers in the "Candy Christmas" collection plus washi tape that I had been waiting for, and  top ups for the "Tis the Season" collection too. 

Candy Christmas won and I set to, making a card. I often mix papers from both size pads and today I chose the 4 x 4 toppers, a little decoupage , co-ordinating papers and the 6x6 pad. And glitter! How could I forget that! The front of the card needed a little "je ne sais quoi" and there it was - the pack of sequins. These snow flake ones are soo pretty as they are holographic and really glisten in the light. 

This is what I made.


I already have a tutorial on my blog for the shadow box with different papers, so if you go back a few posts all the instructions will be there. I used a different shape die this time for the aperture as the toppers in the pad are square and I thought this shape went better with the whimsical images in the collection.

The card folds flat and will fit into a 6 x 6 square envelope. Result!
