Rudolph tin

Decided to have a bit of fun and make something a bit different, so I dug out an old peanut tin that I'd saved from some time or another and had a go at altered art - from this...
...to this...
...I had such fun making this!  I found the poem online somewhere and it just made me smile...
...I used the Rudolph snowflake paper from the 12 Cards of Christmas disc, to cover the tin, then a strip of the coordinating striped paper around the middle.  I mounted the poem onto two layers of the Marianne creatables die, then added  rudolph from the decoupage sheet...
...I flocked his antlers with Cinnamon Toast Fun Flock to give them some texture.  The lid was covered with a circle of the striped paper, then I layered the circular decoupage onto the white doily style Marianne die, again flocking Rudolph's antlers...
... a touch of Gamourdust, wooden snowflake die cuts and some lovely lace that I got from my visit to Letham Crafts, then some Maltesers as reindeer poop and voila!!  I think it's a really fun gift for someone filled with chocolatey goodies and now just need to decide who the recipient will be!!  Thanks for looking, Lisa X
