Boxes


I love decorating and making boxes, sometimes I make them complete from card etc and other times I decorate paper mache boxes like this one inspired by Kate Yetter on the Paperartsy Blog.
I have followed Kate's ideas for the most part but added a few bits of my own.  The paints are all Frescos, Beach Hut, Haystack, Pumpkin Soup and Mermaid. As I am front Yorkshire and a bit mean or careful I would say,  I used one purchased flower and then diecut and colour from paper using Paperartsy Dies, the Dragonfly is also a Paperartsy Die. I have the biggest die from PA but could do with a slightly bigger one please. Thanks for looking.
