Whoops! Got it....

Wrong!!


I was making a box for Deb in Canada and Oh Boy! Did I get it wrong! Started out like this:

And became this:

All well and good. Papier mache box , gessoed and then attacked with Distress Paints in Bundled Sage,Victorian Velvet and Salty Ocean.

 I used a wet brush to get a drippy effect

Candy Pink Cosmic Shimmer sprayed through TCW 'Harlequin'

Lid Stamped with the main image from The Border Collie set (Jane Natley Mayhew Collection, from ThatsReallyCrafty.com)

I added some touches of colour using Distress Markers

Nancy lending her artistic input!!

 And stamped Water Droplets on Tissue ready for the inside

And then it went horribly wrong!  Well, it was OK at first!

Yep OK! 

Nice.........

And then I put the lid on the box.........can you see what's coming??

Oops!

so that was a bit of a 'Design FAIL'!  Memo to self:  When working on a two part piece, work on them as a whole and not in isolation!!

Oh well! Back to the drawing board (dining room table).
