Once Upon A Springtime...

Remember the box I had saved from Christmas which had the ornaments in?

This was it after a crackle paint effect.

This is what it looks like now...

Theme: I love Fairies

I am still looking out for a few more bits and pieces to add... any ideas what it needs???

Each compartmet is 10cm x10cm x 4cm deep so there is lots of room still to fill.

The fairies, postcards, backing paper are all cut from Graphic 45 papers Once Opon a Spring Time

What ever you are doing today ENJOY!

Happy Crafting Love Lynne xx

Starting to look good...

Really pleased with how much the paint has crackled, looks very distressed, just like me! lol

First I painted it with a latte colour and after applying the crackle medium I painted with a blush colour. Because I was mixing all my own colours using up lots of old acrylic paints the different mixes vary in shade as I don't measure just squirt and mix. lol I find this all adds to the finished look.

A view from the top edge and inside one of the compartments, which gives you an idea of the depth of each compartment.

The outside measures 31.5cm square and each compartment is 10 x 10 x 4 cm deep It contained decorations at Christmas. Like all true crafters I never through anything out, you never know when you might need it. Now to find things to fill it with.

What ever you are doing today I hope you all have a good day.
