KinderStampo's My Vintage Valentine Blog Hop

Hello, thanks for stopping by and you should have arrived from Jill and if you did then you are in the right place but if not then please start from the beginning with KinderStampO herself because I would not want you to miss any of the wonderful projects and techniques.

For this hop we needed to make something for Valentine that was vintage. I had so many ideas but I wanted to do something different. I am happy with the way it came out. I painted the wooden container with a few layers of black and red paint and then I used Tim Holtz crackle for a drama and I hope that the photos give it justice because in person it looks so cool.

I used Ornamental Iron for the from and back, some prima flowers and lot and lots of pearls.
I wanted to use this envelope and stamp from Sweethearts so I made it stand out of the box.

I used lots of Tattered Angels Glimmermist too but I am not sure if you can see the shine well enough

This is one of the sides, can you see the paint effects?

I know the back is not the focal point but once the candy is gone this can be used for other things so I decorated the back too. Here you can really see the crackle

The right side of the front and the layers of paint really show through here, YAY!!!



Hope you like!!!!

I have some more digi stamps for one lucky person all you have to do is leave a comment and if you like what you see become a follower.


Thanks for visiting now on to your next blog...




ALSO, I have been under the weather all week but the WINNER from my last hop " Two Chics and a Birthday Hop" is:
