I couldn't bear to throw out this lovely little biscuit box, so I decided to cover it with decoupage papers. I used Wildflower Woods Paperpatch. I always use PVA glue with my decoupage, it is much less expensive than the special decoupage glue and seems to work ok for me.
My favourite flower is the wild poppy, and Crafty Individuals Poppy Meadow Stamp fitted perfectly on the front of the box ! I used watercolours to colour the image.
For a finishing touch I put some lace along the side of the lid. This lace had a double sided tape already on it, which was helpful!
I am going to give this to my sister for Easter, ....... I better find something nice to put in it first !
Thank you so much for visiting.
I would like to enter my Poppy Meadow Box into the following challenges.
