This is the last week of Suzi B's challenges at Make My Monday. The entries for last week's Winter Foliage challenge were out of this world and it took some time deciding on the top 3 (if its settled even now lol :). This week the DT were asked to:
I have used silver mirri card which has been embossed through the Cuttlebug using a snowflake folder. I have then covered with Black Stazon ink to give an aged metal look. I have repeated this a number of times, buffing with kitchen towel until I was happy. Very messy but enjoyable!
The other boxes from my DT buddies are divine - check out our challenge blog HERE! I take this opportunity of welcoming Mynette and Val to the DT - you'll have a bal1.
I would also like to enter my box into the following challenges:-
DECORATE / MAKE a BOX
My box is a papier mache rectangle box, which hopefully will be winging it's way down south to my friend in time for Christmas.
The edges of the box were finished off with a mixture of silver acrylic paint and black ink pad. The tag was stamped with an Elusive Image snowman (thanks Suzi B for the loan), the background of which was painted with silver acrylic paint. A further snowman was stamped for the top of the box. A mixture of Sakura pens and normal gel pens were used to colour in.
The Pointsetta Creatable from Marianne Design has been cut several times in silver mirri card which has been embossed with deep blue embossing powder and layered up. Seasonal ribbon added to tag. Quite simple I think but effective I hope!
