SEASONS GREETINGS

Good morning everyone!!

Welcome to the 12 Days of Christmas!! - Day 2
Today I have another Christmas decor item. I have lots of canvas and I think they are so easy to work with, they are so simple to make just add a few pieces of paper and they look fantastic!! Can you imagine your child's picture with Santa??




I star with a 11x14 canvas, painted with dazzling metallic glorious gold paint, glue 9 pieces of 3 1/2x4 and a 1 1/2x11 border, I used paper from the christmas combo stack, I cut the seasons greeting from martha stewart seasonal cake art cartridge at 2 1/2 page 74, for the corners I used sizzix die cut, picture frame 6 1/2x5 also from the christmas combo stack, added with my hot glue gun the embellishments.

Have a happy Wednesday!!
