Hello friends, this is Richele. Thank you so much for stopping by today I’m happy to be here sharing my Winter Wonderland Vignette Tray. I have always loved the look of white on white, it’s classic, very elegant and so beautiful. This project features several Sizzix Alterations dies from the Tim Holtz holiday collection. I had so much fun creating this Winter Wonderland.

1. Paint the sides of the outside and inside of the Vignette Tray with Brushed Pewter Distress Paint. Repeat with another coat of paint if desired and let dry.

3. Drill a small hole in the lower right corner and feed the Lights through the hole to the inside of the tray. Adhere lights with a glue gun taking care to only glue where the bare wire is. Be careful not to glue at the lights or the part of the wire that’s coated. Velcro battery pack to the back of the tray.
