This is an advent calender I made using matchboxes which were covered in paper which had been coloured using distress inks and then stamped using hero arts border stamps and also Paperartsy stamps. They were built into a tree shape using chipboard which had been painted in between each layer to keep it rigid - a painted piece of chipboard was placed at the back and santa, coloured in with water colour pencils and stickles, the funky christmas trees are by Purple Onion Stamps - and "happy Christmas" all added. All hi-lighted with stickles and white pen.....The star is cut out of corrugated card and smeared with gold dauber, a gold grungeboard star was then added ontop.....TFL XX
