SHABBY CHIC BOX

Some months ago I attended a class at Bella Paperie and created a lovely antique box in a class facilitated by the talented Donna Wannell (alias Pink Donna).

Armed with the techniques she taught I have completed several new pieces since and this is the latest. They are really EASY to do - you just need to follow each of the 'boring steps' at the start to ensure your creation will last. Cutting paper and decorating is wonderful fun and it all happens so quickly. 

I've used another Stamperie paper collection called Lilac Flowers.  It comes in a collection of 12 papers, all double sided.with gorgeous tags and envelopes as well as a stunning variety of floral patterns. I have this amazing collection of knobs and added a brooch (suitably adapted) to create the look.  Tim Holtz 'feet' and there you have it.

Oops .... I forgot to tell you about the box.  There is a great range of wooden boxes on sale at KMart of all places.  This one was just $9 - it's MDF and very well made.  The words 'Things' is printed on the lid - which gets covered anyway.

I promise to put detailed instructions on what to do (step by step) in the next week or so.

Thanks for stopping by ......
