Magnolia Vs Stampavie

Magnolia Vs Stampavie ~ Give A Little

The challenge this week at Magnolia Vs Stampavie is to make a gift. I have decided to decorate this heart shaped box, although I don't think my beloved would appreciate it!...far too girly and he is not a big fan of Tilda...he can't understand why she hasn't got a mouth!...so I am going to fill it full of Choccies for my daughter Chloe.

To make this project I used an inexpensive blank box that I got from Hobbycraft. Soo first I painted the box with Tim Holtz 'Distress Crackle Paint'. I put a layer of distressed Bo Bunny paper on the top and squeezed as many preeties as I could mange on to it!! lol. The image is coloured with Copic Sketch Markers.
Stamp: 'Valentine Tilda'
Papers: Bo Bunny and a scrap of Kay & Co for the tag.
Die Cut Tag: Sizzix 'Scallop Combo #2'
Crystal Swirls: Prima 'Say it in Crystal' collection.
Ruched Gingham Ribbon: Bazzil.
Flowers: Poppicrafts
Rub On Sentiment: Kay & Co 'Smitten' Collection
All other embellies are from my stash.


It is a gloomy wet and windy day here :(... I am going to tackle my shoes today!! Like all ladies I have far too many...some which I haven't worn for years...so I am going to be brave and bag them up for the local Autistic charity shop. I am such a hoarder so this is quite a wrench for me! ;)


Hope you all have a fabulous day!
