Little Box of Love

This month for 'Love makes the World go Round' I wanted to make a tiny box for a Valentine or other gift. I wanted it to Shout LOVE , so here is what I did...

I began with a small oval shaped box and painted it with pinks and oranges for a mixed painted metallic look.

I stamped a heart image on to a patterned piece of pretty paper and then fussy cut it out.

Next, I glued around the heart edges and added pink sparkly glitter for a cute outline

Finally, I added some pink/beige flat back pearls all around the edges using larger ones at the bottom and smaller on the top. I made them more secure by using a strong glue for this.

Items needed:

Pigment Ink
Pretty paper -There are some lovely ones here
Glitter
Paints
Flatback pearls
Glue
Strong Tacky glue

Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages. I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent! Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar. Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them. Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA! You have made your own solvent for literally pennies. You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a HUGE jar on the window sill! Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.

Full Circle

Hi all! Becky here today! I have been in a circle-mood lately & have been doing circles on everything! So why not do some circles with some of my Gelli Prints??? Here's a simple little card I made using 4 different circle punches, a black pen & some previously made Gelli prints! Hope you're enjoying Springtime in your area! Cheers!
