Hi Everyone!

Haha!  No we are not taking up

bloodsports............... we are 

revisiting an old topic with a

twist or two

Next Sunday is Mothering Sunday

and in case you are wondering

what to do aside from chocs and

flowers here is Claire Jackson to

the rescue with a beautiful little

present .......

"I started by painting a small wooden

 trinket box with shades of green 

and blue chalk paint on the outside 

and pearlescent paint on the inside. 

I then stamped the flowers and leaves 

around the sides and a border flourish

 around the top.

The leaves were coloured with alcohol markers

 and white gel pen, before I added Glossy Accents

 to the leaves and stems and

 Enamel Accents on the flowers.

The border on the top was decorated 

in the same way. 

The centre piece was made from chipboard pieces

 painted and glazed. 

To finish off I put patterned paper

 on the bottom.

The little trinket box even has a small magnet

 to snap the lid shut. 

It would make a lovely gift on its own, 

filled with chocolate or with some jewellery in it."

Thank you Claire, that really is a

lovely box and fun to make I shouldn't

wonder
