I finally got to my desk to finish my project.
I needed to make a box for Gio's wallet she gave me so I could
display it and it wouldn't get dirty or ruined.
Took pic's before I put the acetate on it, no glare :).
Used an empty box for perfume Tabu, Sue's, I have a few boxes.
Made a little pillow from some old embroider sheets, so it sat
up higher in the box.
Made a spray with gelatos, pink and purple,
shave some and put it with water in your small spray bottle wait for a while
then shake, shake, shake,shake,shake,shake,
you put your right foot in, sorry :O).
Sprayed it on bubble wrap then laid my tissue on it, lifted off
carefully, then let it dry, better to use thicker kind, I didn't
Stamped with some script.
I also sprayed it on a piece of pattern tissue, stamped with a teapot.
I don't have a cup stamp like on the wallet, but thought to use the
pot to pour the tea:).
no not fussy cut, never:). Modge podged it all.
I sanded the edges down then used the same gelatos to go
around the edges rubbed it in.
Added some string, well you can knit with this stuff, ladder
something LOL.
A couple of side view.
I didn't want to add much, just wanted to showcase the wallet.
Now I have time to visit all of the wonderful artist,
I'll be going away on the first 2 weeks of august.
for our family reunion, its our 48th one soooo
I have to make a stack of cards for our craft table
and make a rum cake for the bake table. Thats what
I'll be doing this week..
Thanks so much for stopping by and having a look.
Have a wonderful creative day..
NAMASTE!!!

This is a really worthy home for the lovely wallet! I love those pretty teapots. It's great to see you back crafting Dianne and something so gorgeous too. I could imagine you doing a lovely magpie dance as you shook your spray! Have a great reunion - I'm sure that rum cake will be yummy too! Julie Ann xx
I love love your grungy bow, Dianne!

Oh how beautiful! A true work of art!
