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.
Happy CraftingXX

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.
If that's a card that needs practise there is no hope for me!!! :) Beautiful.
I love what you do with decorating boxes and other items - very inspiring.
Oh my goodness! This is so amazing! I love everything about it! The colors are FABULOUS!!!! Bravo!
