I loved her altered pencil/sewing case, and decided to finish a project that has been hanging around my craft desk for ages : a wooden tissue Box.
I did have a go before, and hated the result so I stripped it down, and have been waiting for inspiration...
The top of the box is from the original attempt - it was texture paste that I stamped into. I just repainted it with Fresco Paints (Nougat, Irish Cream, Claret and Chocolate pudding)
For the sides I used metal. I embossed them, mounted them on black card then painted them with the same colours as the box.
Okay, it very subtle colour wise, but I like it :)

This has a nice vintage look, definitely subtle, but effective. xx Julie Ann
ReplyDeleteI know what's missing... Treasure Gold ! Don't have any ? no me neither but I keep wanting it!
ReplyDeleteStill, like this, it's a perfect vintage look.
This is gorgeous!!! xxx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Subtle, Yes, but that is what you need for a home decor item (otherwise the old man won't give them houseroom, eh?),

This is really pretty Trish and I love the colours that you've used (so much in fact that I bought these from Doncaster on Sunday lol) xx
ReplyDeleteGreat texture and vintage colours, subtle but very pretty. I like it too.
