Garden Chic
I have been using the Eco Green Garden Chic stamp set (made entirely from recycled rubber) from Creative Expressions for this weeks DT piece.
I decided to decorate a box for my first piece which I covered in vintage paper from an old book.
Once I had covered with vintage paper I added the floral image from the set, stamped with VersaMark ink and sprinkled with clear embossing powder. I then coloured with Distress Ink wild honey, a favourite colour of mine at the moment, blending the colour as I moved around the box. I then stamped the same image around the box in coffee Archival Ink.
I stamped the fabulous dress form onto white card using coffee Archival Ink and sponged with wild honey ink, adding coffee ink to the edges for definition. I added a wing from Tim's Idea-ology Adornments Regal and completed with three buttons threaded with Bakers Twine.

It must be so hard to cover a box with vintage paper and get it looking like this. Beautiful! xx
Absolutely lovely Tracy. You always come up with such lovely ideas.
