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

I began with the darling Witch Poo wooden hat from Foundations Decor, it comes complete with a playful spider! The raw wood is high quality, fully sanded and ready to go. Paint, paper, inks, Gel Press monoprints all work with the delightful project.  I thought that we should give a good vibe to the gal who will wear this hat.  Therefore...glitter and prissy was in my mind.   BUT  there is also a dark side to this project.  Good Witch or Bad Witch?                               Paint the hat and both sides of the spider with black paint Use Aleenes glue to sporadically place glitter Sprinkle one side with very fine iridescent pink  Sprinkle remaining with med. weight black glitter Coat hat band with med. weight pink glitter & add a gem. Coat one side of spide...
