Fussy and Fancy Challenge



Well, this is a very special day for me, it's my first project as a member of the Fussy and Fancy Design Team!  How honoured and delighted am I???

To enter this amazing challenge please click HERE

The theme for this Challenge is Vintage.  The first thing that came to my mind when I saw the theme was this little MDF cupboard, which came along with a small set of shelves.  These two items were bought as a Xmas present to myself!!!  I haven't decorated the shelf unit yet but the cupboard definitely represents a Vintage theme.

This was how it started


First I covered all the outside with luscious Tim Holtz papers,


After sanding all the edges I painted the inside with a regal purple colour.  This paint is English Cottage Acrylic from Indigoblu, such lovely highly pigmented acrylic.



I left this overnight to dry and then I applied Treasure Gold wax to all the edges




After this I completed the most important part of the project - I filled it with Distress Paints and Distress Stains!

Thank you to all my new followers from Fussy and Fancy I really appreciate your interest in my tiny pieces of crafty work.
