Paper Play DT ~ Use an object not intended for crafting!



Good evening Blogging Beauties,
Today is Thursday and that means Paper Play Day!
This week we are very kindly sponsored by Waltzingmouse Stamps - one stamp set of winner's choice.  How cool! They have really nice stamps...wish I could enter!!


This week's challenge is "Use an object not intended for crafting" - like coins, cans/jars, shells, cardboard box bits etc..... and is set by DT member - Karen.  So let's get creative and have fun!


I used a cake box we received as a gift when we attended a wedding in Japan.
It was originally yellow.  I painted it pink inside and out...coloured my image, added some lace, ribbon and a doily and it was finished.  
It is fairly plain.  I tried adding flowers, but they all seemed too big.  
So of course I can give it the clean and simple label!

This is probably my favourite Magnolia stamp at the moment and I coloured her with Copics:
Skin: E21, E00, R20
Hair: E47, E57, E35, E31
Pinks: RV06, RV04. RV02

Head on over here to see the other fantastic inspiration by the DT and to link up your creation!

Thanks for popping by!
Have a lovely evening,
Alicia xx
