Vintage Vignette Christmas Altered Art

Good morning friends ~  The Simon Says Wednesday Challenge is asking us to "Add Some Texture" to our project, featuring Tim Holtz products. 

 This is a super fun challenge for me as I enjoy making these little Christmas pieces using Tim Holtz product and found items in my craft closet.
 
 
These Christmas Vignette Boxes are long since retired but I still have a couple packages of them sitting in my stash, along with a pack of Christmas Paper Dolls waiting to be used.  So I started by creating the vignette using a Christmas tree on the inside of a box lined with Tim Holtz printed paper.  I die cut a small star and sprinkled on golden yellow glitter and mounted it to the top of the tree.
 
I used an old childs alphabet block, "B" for boy, and mounted the vignette box to the top using hot glue.  I then mounded on some texture paste and sprinkled it with some white Carrara Marble Course Glitter from Martha Stewart.  It does have a shiny look to it but my phone camera didn't pick up on the shine.
 
 
To finish it off, I added a tiny ornament which I covered with glue and sprinkled vintage silver microfine glitter to make it sparkle.  
 
I'll be adding this to the:
 Simons Says Wednesday Challenge ~ Add Some Texture 
Word Art Wednesday ~ Anything Goes
  
Thanks for stopping by!

These 3D art pieces you make are so amazing! I can just imagine the fun with your found items and craft supplies. The wooden block is such a great touch with the boy, carrying the theme throughout. All of it is vintage eye candy!
