Naughty can be Nice designed for Happy Daze


Not sure what these two lovely ladies have been up to. I'll leave that up to your imagination!
I used a wood jewellery box which I painted in white matt emulsion then I used Lost Coast Designs Naughty can be Nice stamped in archival ink. I used victorian velvet & dusky concord distress inks to rub over the box. The image was coloured in with water colours, but you could easily use distress inks. I finished the box using a a button and trim from my stash & a chain tassel.






I've decided I'm not much of a card maker at the moment, but I did manage to make one at the weekend under duress. LOL! I think I need some more practice!



The image is crafty individuals CI- 320 which I stamped onto cotton !


Thanks for all your lovely comments, I love visiting all your fabulous blogs.

    Hi Paula. Crafting at its best! Gorgeous box. So beautifully decorated. Pretty card. The CI stamps do stamp brilliantly onto fabric. It is always a joy to visit your blog.

    As much as I love both the card and box it is the box that I have to say "WOW" to. Brilliant use of the stamp. Love the colours and embellishment.

    P.S. is it too weird to say that I put finishing touches to an altered box yesterday - we appear to be using or working with similar items!!
    My box will not be shown until end of September as it is DT art.

    Wow, stunning box and I LOVE that stamp! Your colouring is fabulous too! And your card, - well for someone who is not much of a cardmaker at the moment (your words not mine) I think this is brilliant.

    I wish I could make cards as badly as you!! It's gorgeous. Love the box (perhaps they have discovered the Joy of Flex!), the colours are lovely.
