Note: most of the links on this post no longer work, as we moved to a new Web site in 2018. However, you can see the supply list items from Nichola’s project that are still available on the new site.
It’s December 6th, Day 6 of The Twelve Days of Christmas at Alpha Stamps!
On the Sixth Day of Christmas my true love gave to me… 6 Geese a’Laying in a lush, secret garden designed by Nichola Battilana!
Wow. I am running out of amazing things (without repeating myself) to say about the fabulous creations that our Design Team keep coming up with and it’s only day six! Each new project leaves me more flabbergasted than the day before!
Nichola has taken a plain, unassuming box that is actually a New! Victorian Exploding Picture Box Kit, New! Wooden Finials, with other embellishments and turned it into a carousel once it is opened up. One would think that the carousel is the hidden surprise, but my Poppets — there is yet another surprise that Nichola has cooked up for us as well. In order to find out what the second surprise is and for tips on making your own carousel, you will just have to honk your way over to Nichola’s Blog to find out!
Highlights of a few items Nichola used are below; here’s a list of all the components used in her artwork.
