Today i have a more productive desk than last week. Still lots of mess but with a finished project.
Last week i mentioned the money boxes my friend and i would be decorating..
Well after much mess, and a fantastic afternoon. This is what is on my desk..........
......and this is what is on Ann's side of the desk
Ann used all acrylic paints and a gold dadder, but i used acrylic paint and silver alcohol ink.
Ann punched a whale of a punch dragon then heat embossed with gold embossing powder.
I used a Martha Stewart bird punch & a Stampin up branch punch.
We then used very small alpha stamps to personalise the boxes.
The backs are fully sealed, lets see how long before we have to re decorate them.
Who would have thought 2 little money boxes would have brought so much fun to two adults...xx
I have set our project for next week, and i think it could lots of fun..
We have to make a head for his girls.
So not much tidying but lots of fun going on ....glad to hear it xx
