I love making Christmas decorations, it just brings on the Christmas spirit and the joy of the season. Here is a shadow box from Faith Pocock designs https://www.faithpocockcraftstudio.com/.
This was made with Graphic 45 Christmas Time.
Use black gesso to coat the base, and dry. 
Use a clock stencil and stencil with thick white gesso. You may need to only do a few at a time so the first couple are dry before you do the next few. This is to stop any smudging. 
Choose a background, cut and glue to the back of the shadow box. Make a hole in the back to add the seed lights. Pull the lights through and use glue strips to adhere to the edges of the box. 
I used wooden cogs to colour with different pastes. I used Ferro gold to give texture and vintage paste to cover the cogs. Then cut in half, this allows to fit to the sides a d give movement to the project. 
Cut out different embellishments from the pad and ink the edges with a distress pen. 
I
Cut the different sizes of the 2 large cogs. Then place and match up on top of one another using foam tape underneath to pop up the top cog. Glossy Accents to accent the title, let dry overnight. 
Cut out all the leaves, Glossy Accent the all berries and use translucent paste on the leaves then add a fine glitter to dust. Choose a wooden flourish with cogs, use gesso to lightly cover, and add a embellishment.
Make sure the leaves are all dry before adding then to the project. 
Add the cogs at different levels, with some to towards the front and some at the back. This adds movement to the project. 
Have fun adding the the rest of the embellishments.
