Reflective Imagery CC2C#30

I was asked to create our own works using the technique Reflective Imagery on page 55 in Tim's Compendium of Curiusities Vol. 2 book.

This is my project using distress inks, retro and seasonal paper pads, poinsettia die-cut and one facet all from Tim Holtz.

 CH multi medium and Ranger Glossy Accents was used as well.

I also used a Merry Christmas digital die and a tree hanger from HL. 

My santa didn't show as clear as I wanted in the facet. -(

Update: I forgot to add the base of the page was made with Tim Holtz Vintage Valise die.
