WOYWW 189

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


                                                                                                              
We used gesso to give a base for the paints.
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.

  7. Love the money boxes, that dragon is amazing and I can't imagine it was from a punch! It certainly sounds like you had loads of fun and more to come with the heads! Annette #3
