Visible Image DT sample

 Today I am showing you box I have altered using stamps  from Visible Image.

It was a sturdy cardboard box that I was sent some crafting supplies in a while ago, and I thought it would make a pretty box ...

 I painted the box using acrylic paints and added some vintage photo distress stain, to create a worn look when the paint was dry.  I stamped the large butterfly and butterfly stamps over the top of the box using versafinevintage sepia ink, and then the sentiment from the Free your imagination stamp set round the sides.

 

I cut some fabric flowers ourt using my Tattered flowers die, and stained them using distress inks.  I also stained the rose ribbon using victorian velvet distress ink.  Once the flowers were dry i punched a small hole in them, added the stamens and scrunched them up, before adding to the cotton reels, which were also distresses using vinage photo distress ink.

Its going to be my Mum's birthday present - hope she likes it!!
