Hello and thanks for calling in today, it was my time to pick the theme this month at Fashionable Stamping Challenges and I chose 'Feminine' and if you like the theme, you still have time to enter.
As it was my theme, I decided to add another piece using some new Stampendous Andy Skinner Shabby Chic stamps. Again I've printed out a label I found on the internet, re sized and then stamped the corset image in the center.
The box was left over from my favorite mint tea bags, was covered with a mix of Distress paints using a dry brush. I did some second generation stamping with some of the other labels from the set
giving a worn vintage look to the box.
A few Sizzix Tiny tattered roses and leaves and a pretty bow to complete.
You still have time to enter the challenge and you can find all the details here.
Have a great day,
Avril xx
Is there anything nicer than a lovely gift box with a pretty tag.....I don't think so, fab job Avril I love this..mxx
ReplyDeleteYou achieved a lovely finish to the box Avril, gives it a really aged feel and the prefect base for the tag using those rather nice AS stamps.

ReplyDeleteI really like the worn ink effect on the bag, and the label from the web was a great find, looks pretty teamed up with your stamped image.
ReplyDeleteGreat grunge color on the surface of the box and a very nice front decoration. Vintage Look from its best.
