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.
