Christmas decoupage

I bought a selection of crafts u print designs when they were on offer and I have been doing the fussy cutting in the evening while watching TV....


 I actually used all the layers on this one so now I have to make a box for it to go in....they come with envelopes to make up but I think it would get damaged in the post....

I hope you are safe and well and thank you for popping by my blog today .....
