I finally got round to finishing the WI layout I started a couple of weeks ago, I was poorly for nearly a week with a heavy cold and didn't really feel like doing much at all. I have been busy driving our school mini bus for school trips and prepping for classes.
I taught a class to decorate a cigar box at the weekend, I have made a couple before so changed the colours a little. The flower was a die cut dipped in UTEE a few times until it looked like china (actually, it looked more like shiny plastic but it was still better than plain paper)
I coloured the wood box sides with distress stain, it was a lot easier than painting it and a lot less mess
I added some photographs and pieces of doily to my pop up cupcake layout and finished the journaling
Friday's WI craft night is Make Do and Mend, we are making an apron from an old pair of jeans. It doesn't seem a month since the last night, time is flying and it will be spring sunshine soon, I can't wait.
Wow.... I love that cigar box. The cupcake layout is also beautiful. You are so creative!
