Happy Monday to you... It's time for another
Crafty Boots challenge, with the theme of "recycle" chosen by the lovely
Gabrielle.
You can recycle anything - re-use something from your stash, use something you would have otherwise thrown away, as you choose. I decided to recycle a little box I'd previously altered - from this...
I'd already ripped a metal flower off the lid !
out came the Paperartsy Fresco paints (stone and eggplant)
Some stencilling on the lid with paint
and Paperartsy Grunge Paste on the sides...(this was PROPER FIDDLY!)
and a flower (Lin Brown for Paperartsy) stamped with Fresco's in Squid Ink and Zesty Zing onto black card
Sorry I had such trouble photographing it, maybe the girls (Emma and Gabrielle specially) were right at Ally Pally on Saturday.. I do need a better camera for this lark!!
