To take a break from card making I got into needle felting some gnomes ( I had bought a kit for these whilst on holiday with nothing taken to do). I then tried adjusting the technique for Santas and a gnome and a tree. Need to work on these a little more but they are a good project to do in the company of others.
Each year I have used a new die from JND with his box die to produce a lantern cube. This year we hadn't got 2 layers as in the previous 2 years so I put colooured parchment behind instead of acetate which gives a lovely effect.
I have a stack in the shop of the different lanterns done and alongside these I have used different inks to decorate a bottle to put light inside.
and then I decorated a couple of boxes I had cut ready to add small gifts. Plus of course there is the decoration with3 poinsettias on top of the lanterns which could be used for all sorts.
I showed you last month the winter scene cards but to make them special I 3D'd them. They look great but I don't think the picture does them justice.
