Hi, The
Happy Daze challenge this month is called
'Little Black Dress' the team describe it to mean that stamp/technique/etc that you cannot live without.........................! Well to tell you the truth I found it very difficult to choose just one..........well who wouldn't......... so am cheating a bit.
An Altered Box, sorry there is no before picture, but it was originally painted pink with white stencilling. I was in a pink phase at the time........hard to believe I know...........lol
Products Used: Gesso, Claudine Hellmuth Studio multi-medium, Black Acrylic Paint, Inka Copper and Gold, Viva Croco Crackling...............the shine isn't showing up in the photo's, but its there, trust me.......!
Stamps Used: Inkadinkado and Lavinia Stamps. The Child Angel is a freebie from
Free Image Tuesday
The things I couldn't be without are my
Paints and Stamps. If you would like to join in the challenge, the details are over at
Happy Daze Blog (see my sidebar) All the Products used are available at Happy Daze, but I don't think the stamps are................
Hope your weather is better than ours, as its very gusty winds and rain.........not nice my friends. Have a great day and take care of yourselves, Hugs Annette x
