After the cookies disappeared from this tin box, it was a blank canvas.
Perfect for this beautiful tree stencil.
Along with some encouraging words. 
And some natural embellishments.
Using iridescent embossing paint in silver for the trees, 
and gold for the lettering along the sides,
copper for oak leaves,
green for evergreen needles,
more copper for pine cones, 
it grew together.
This is just beautiful!
What a great idea! That iridescent embossing paint is so pretty.
