Happy Mothers Day.....

.....to my Mum!!  Here are the photos of the little box that I made:

 And yes,  my favourite acetate Dragonfly makes another appearance (number 3 - the first appearance was on my Mum's birthday card - I hope she's not getting fed up with my dragonfly fixation )

 I finally got round to using my new Creative Expression stamps - I've had them since before Christmas!  After giving the box a good coating of white gesso I used Cut -n-Dry foam to add Bundled Sage and Victorian Velvet Distress Paints followed by a spritzing of Cosmic Shimmer Mist in Candy Pink (I've definitely gone 'girly' on this one!)  I then stamped all the images onto white tissue paper using Jet Black StazOn before tearing them out and adding them to the box using Ranger Glue 'n' Seal matte.  To finish I added a strip of Ideology Tissue Tape 'Nostalgic' to the edge of the lid (how cool - it's exactly the right width!!).  All the aforementioned products are available for purchase HERE.

 These are from the Meadow Flora set by Sam Poole - I love their delicacy.

 I stamped the sentiment using Mini Words #1 from the Artistic Stamper onto white paper and outlined using a fineliner pen before cutting out.

I hope you have enjoyed looking at this post.  Before I go I would like to enter this in the following challenge:

The Sunday Stamper -Week 248- Use Something You Have Had For Yonks and Never Used

(although I think it might just qualify for the primary theme which is 'You Make me Feel Brand New' as I've used Distress Paints and they're new!!)

Thanks for looking!

Bye bye for now from me!

Ooh P.S.  I was privileged to do a workshop with Andy Skinner yesterday at the Artistic Stamper, making a Gothic clock.  When I find where I've managed to download the photo's I'll add some pics to my Gallery!
