Charity find and new box

on


Was asked to decorate this wooden box with the heart cutout. I first pained the box with a mixture of red paint and gesso and then pearl white on top. Stuck the twig heart, which i dry brushed with white and pink, to the box and made the ribbon flower and added the clay rose on top. All the  dies and product were from The Works. 
Would like to enter this in this months

How is it that you take things to a charity shop and end up leaving with much more ! :) We were just about to leave The Woodgreen Animal Charity shop in Royston , when I spotted a basket of stamps. There were brand new and great brands. Next to this was another box of unused dies and EK Success punches. It was like Christmas I bought quite a lot. lol 

Made this card with four of the stamps and one of the punches I bought today. It is a bit different from my usual style but I just had a go and I like how it turned out.

Hope you have a wonderful day.

You must have been meant to go into the charity shop that day. I can't say I'm ever that lucky. You certainly made a fantastic job with your purchases. I love the little box too. Love Dawn x

Your decorative box is really charming - I love the twiggy heart. And what a find in the charity shop - looks like you got some great stamps. Your spooky scene is really cool.

A very prettily altered box. The twiggy heart and flower embellishment finish it perfectly.

The same thing happens to me! I like this card, too. I have a small drawer of stamps but haven't had a chance to use them in ages.

I am so glad I had time tonight to get caught up on my favorite pages! I am absolutely in love with your box! It is romantic and practical...who could ask for anything more? The card is eclectic and quite well done! I especially love the color palette! You have an amazing eye for composition!

Beautiful work on both projects! I had better start seeing some of your work in one or both of my challenges. I am sure our followers will be inspired by your creativity!
Hugz,
Chana
