It`s
so simple to create . . . honest . . . all you will need is a lump of
wood, the piece I used was laying around at my allotment . . . I didn`t
sand it as I love the roughness of texture, but I did give it a quick
coat of Acrylic White Paint.
In the picture above I`ve said "1 die cut star " but I ended up using 3 to give it more dimension.
I`ve used the
Wplus9 - Clear cut Stackers -Stars
but you could just doodle a star and cut it out.

The pretty papers are from
Authentique Joyous 6x6 paper pad collection
beautiful, warm rich colors.
But you can use whatever scraps of paper you have!

I added some more of the papers down the sides and along the top to box it all in.
After getting messy with a mixture of Pan Pastels from Mixed Media sets 1 & 2
along with a few of the new Metallic Pan Pastels

it was time to . . . doodle doodle doo all over with a fine black liner pen
followed by some . . .
Pink Paislee - She Art{Christy Tomlinson}Border & Doily Rub ons
Loooove them, just saying!
Finishing with a few Word stickers and some Glossy Gel over the surface.
What once was a lump of wood is now a gift for someone`s Christmas . . . 1 down and more to go,lol!
I hope you enjoyed my makeover and if you have a go, we would love to see what you create.
Happy Crafting
