MONDAY - TUESDAY - WEDNESDAY - THURSDAY 

For the final day of hopping around the world I decided to play with the new DecoArt 

Antiquing Creams and a lot of Stampendous embossing powders, tinsel and mica flakes. 

I altered a cardboard box using DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylics and Black Antiquing cream.

Embossed cardstock to create the texture....

A lot of embossing powders, mica flakes and tinsel on the petals

Antiquing Cream on the flowers to add to the distressed look.

And of course... I use the box for storing my embossing powders.

I covered the cardboard box with cardstock embossed in an embossing folder.

First I primed the embossed cardstock with Matte Medium and then painted

it with Media Fluid Acrylic Metallic Gold. 

I applied some Stampendous embossing powder Aged Gold to the edge of the lid.

I covered the whole thing with black Antiquing Cream and let it dry. Then I used a

damp cloth to wipe the Antiquing Cream back. The Antiquing creams dries but it

doesn't cure so you have unlimited working time and if you don't like the result...

just wipe it all off and start over and when you get the result you want seal with a

Media Varnish. I sealed it with DecoArt Media Satin Varnish.

The flowers gave me the perfect opportunity to experiment with a lot of embossing 

powders, mica flakes and tinsels....and I did!! A lot of different powders on the petals.

A brad in the middle to hold them together.

A few of the bloggers this week are new to hopping, so if you have an issue with any of the links, here's a little tip! If you get a page that says "Sorry that Page is not here" or something similar, try clicking on the header of the blog, or look for something that says Home. The hop page should be near the top of the day's posts. We will fix broken links as the day goes on, as well, so check back here if you are really lost.

The Official Rules.
