Hi all
This will be a very quick posting as I desperately need my bed - it is screaming at me lol.
I altered a box for a friend at work and this is her favourite colour. I used oddments of lace sporadically, a little pearl trim which was kicking about on my table (lurking in the shadows lol) a large rosette flower with an old pearl brooch in the middle. On the front I used a butterfly - a butterfly the recipient of this box gave me in a bag of broken jewellery she gave me. I always like to use the pieces given to me alter them and give them right back lol.
I used a dark jade paint, then added white and brushed lightly over the top. I then used a rub n buff over the textured areas. I then sealed it with mod podge.
Now for the pics.
Hugz and love to all and thank you for visiting me - do call back whenever you like lol.
