BLUE AND WHITE
I seem to have a paintbrush permanently welded to my hand at the moment so no surprise then that it's yet another paint-a-box project...a great excuse to use up another of these cheap as chips papier mache boxes I bought from The Papeterie for £2.99...
yes you did read that correctly 4 nesting boxes for £2.99...great bargain. After a quick coat of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint which just happened to still be on my wordesk from yesterday's project...a bit of stamping and decorating with gorgeous Ribbon Girl goodies...voila a cute gift box...
Stamping on papier mache can be a bit daunting...think rough uneven surface and I apologise if I have shared this little trick with you before...ink up your stamp and lay the sides of the box on to the stamp and press from inside...you probably still won't get a perfect impression of your image but hey it all adds to the vintage shabby look...
as always there are fabulous prizes to be won from
our friends at Lily Of The Valley
and
and wonderful inspiration from the rest of my fabulous teamies including our Guest Designer for this month...the lovely and very talented Tracy Payne...so what are you waiting for...hop on over and join in the fun. Enjoy the rest of your weekend and happy crafting...I'll see you all tomorrow with a Manic Monday Give-Away.
