Tuesday Taggers- messy hands time!!!

3 posts in a day, wow! This is my post for the Tuesday Taggers blog challenge, which this week is Messy Hands. Over the weekend I made the perfect thing (actually 2 perfect things), with lots of paint and ink and some very VERY messy hands (and messy desk and floor and everything I touched, oops!) These both started off as little plain brown boxes.

This one has gone to live with my lovely Docrafts friend Shendy. It's painted with gesso and acrylic paints, then stamped with some Lavinia fairies and leaves in Black Versafine. Highlights with white gel pen.

This box has photographed a little more pink than it actually is, plus the bottom photo was taken before the glue had dried, hence the white button centre. Again, this is gessoed and painted with acrylics, then stamped on top with a lovely Personal Impressions swirly birds stamp set. The edges are stamped with a foam stamp word- beautiful- in red Stazon. A dab or two of black diamond Stickles and it's done.

Each of these boxes is about 2- 2.5 inches wide, so they're really little. I'm saving the pink one for a friend's birthday in April (one who doesn't look on here!!), just need to find something nice to put in it!!
