CI notebox

Did you spot the lovely box Jean made in this months Craft Stamper magazine? Well here's my take on it. I struggled a bit getting the crackle effect as I didn't shake my acrylic paint hard enough and ended up painting the paint binder onto the crackle and guess what? It didn't crackle. So being a stamper I resorted to a cheat and stamped on the crackle using a CI stamp. I also used the lovely house and tree die cuts from Crafty Individuals.


I've been trying to use more male themed accents on my projects and I'm sure men like butterflies
and the odd flower.
Thanks for dropping by sorry it's been so long since I posted.
