Ikea Box

This is a box I bought from Ikea. In its original state it was just plain wood. I sanded it down and painted with diluted pale blue emulsion. Then stamped some flowers on it and coloured them in with H2O's. Added a few gem butterflies and there you have it.

It was part of a present for a friend. Her favourite colour is blue. She loved it as she has lots of nick-nacks and is a perfect storage solution for her.

February Calendar Page

While I was doing January, I thought I would get February done at the same time. Using Valentines day as my Feb. theme I cut out various hearts and sentiments from scraps of papers I had left over. The hearts I edged in gilding flakes - I love using these.

The main image is a House Mouse stamp which I think is soooo cute. The hearts again are covered in gilding flakes, I painted the mice with H2O's and Sakura Gelly roll pens for the other small bits. The picture has been matted onto gold mirri card.
