<span style="color: #3d85c6;">Here's my plan. Black background with a piece of vellum with clouds on it, hopefully the Artic, snow and floating ice comes to mind instead. Some real birch bark, real bird feathers, some inking and ink stitching for that native feel</span></div>

<span style="color: #3d85c6;">The image in the moon was found on the internet, circle die cut and a white pen around the edge. </span></div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><br />I hand painted the paw print with black glossy accents onto more birch bark and oval cut by hand.</span></div>

<span style="color: #3d85c6;">I will be a long time before I use vellum again. Boy it's hard to glue. It warps when anything wet touches it, and the glue is also visible. So I cut some tiny strips of black card stock and glued it overtop the edges of the vellum to hid the glue and pen stitched around the edges.</span></div>

<span style="color: #3d85c6;">The box needed something to help pull the lid up so I used a Tim Holts photo pin, but filled the end with glossy accents, and a very wee tiny mini drop of antique linen ink to give it a bit of color rather than clear. But before I added the GA, I dropped a couple of wee tiny snowflakes into the ring. Two indian motive beads will go on the pin and once the GA is solid, I'll hammer it into the box lid.</span> </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><strong> Imagine MY delight!!</strong></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
