Hi everyone, hope your weekend is off to a good start. A new challenge on BasicGrey challenges today which is Autumn/Harvest Time. There's some wonderful inspiration from my DT friends and a great prize from our sponsor Simon Says Stamp so I hope you can join us.
I've given my plain wooden box the distressed treatment with acrylic paint, lots scraping back and sanding and over stamping with a polka dot background stamp. On top I've decorated with die cut paper from the BasicGrey Capella collection and a moulded acetate TH alterations die cut leaf which has been coloured with alcohol inks and covered in Utee, I also added the metal catch on the front and some gold metallic ink inside and on the edges of the top panel which means I can enter the SSSS challenge this week of 'show your metal' :).
Enjoy your Saturday and thanks as always for your lovely comments.
