Santa Clause box with hinged lid ......

When I ordered some decoupage papers recently, the lady I bought them from sent me a paper napkin with a lovely Santa on it as a free gift.  I covered this plain round hinged lid box with it, in various pieces,  then added red faux silk ribbon, a 20mm red paper rose, a white paper rose and a white cosmos daisy plus a couple of leaves and some red double ended berries.  Around the edge of the lid I adhered some 18mm white cotton zig zag lace and on the base of the box I added 25mm red satin ribbon topped with a round buckle slide, all from The Ribbon Girl

When I had finished deoupaging the top of the box I added Tim Holtz crackle glaze then rubbed in some brown ink

This photo shoes the red satin ribbon with buckle slide and white cotton lace, I hoped it would look like Santas tummy and his white collar :-) 

Thanks for looking, see you soon,

Have yourself a merry little Christmas ..............

Another Christmas card with one of the new LOTV Christmas images being launched on Hochanda on Monday.  I used copics to colour the image then added 15mm honey gold satin ribbon, a gold poinsettia flower and some 55mm guipure lace.  The sentiment is also a stamp from LOTV
