Blog Series: Christmas Inspiration Day 5: Light Vignette

Welcome to the 5th and final day of my Blog Series – Christmas Inspiration! And today’s project is a little light vignette. Of all the projects I posted this week, this one is my FAVORITE!

If you do create some projects along with me, please use the hashtag #mousaha and tag me on Instagram @mou.saha.studio and on Facebook @MouSahaStudio.
