Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge to use tissue paper. I love using tissue paper on my projects. Tissue paper is a great way to apply a stamped image on a variety of surfaces. I always save the tissue paper from gifts to use for my projects.
I decided to use a pencil case to create a box that can be used to store pens/pencils and a great gift box for a teacher's gift.
Here is an angled shot showing how the box opens up:
To cover the top I stamped the image on tissue paper with black water resistant ink.
I then applied them to the box with a decoupage medium on the box and over the tissue paper after I applied it to the box.
After the image dried I added a touch of white paint around the edges. I then stamped the numbers around the edges using black ink. I am using this to wrap up a gift card.

This is beautiful! I want to try to copy it and see how I go but this is such a busy week. Maybe I will get a chance later. It really is stunning!
ReplyDeletehow clever! I love it!
ReplyDeleteSuzz...this is such a cute vintage style pencil box! I love those little dancing children. Such a cute stamp. I also love how you've softly colored them and then adhered them to the lid of the box. Thanks for the tip to paint behind them if you don't want the tissue paper to be translucent. I probably would have eventually figured that out...after I'd ruined several attempts. haha <3 Candy
