This was a wine box - I had kept it for ages thinking I must do something with it. I decided to paint it (I did paint it all over, but these pictures only have the lid done) with Paper Artsy fresco paints. I used Chalk all over it, then I used Turquoise to distress it - I used the Ally Reeves technique of using a sponge (I bought a well known supermarkets own brand of washing up sponges - 11p for five!). Then I stamped it with Jo Firth Young's beautiful stamps - seeing them made me think of doing this box with them - and I coloured them with distress markers. Once the box was finished, I coated it with a spray (Americana Sealer/Finisher) to seal it. I managed to sell this at a Craft Fair so now I am keen to see what else I can find round the house or garage to alter.....
