Remember to leave comments as you go, to be eligible for the draw where you can win a grab bag of great Quietfire Design rubber stamps! Each Designer will randomly choose a winner from the comments on their own Blog Hop post, so make sure you’ve commented by midnight Friday, October 19th. Here's a peek at the latest release from Quietfire Design:

 

My project is a decorated storage box.  I used a plant light box that was the right size to store my Quietfire Design winter/holiday stamps, dies, embossing folders, etc for this project.  Use cardboard and cracker box pieces to reinforce the bottom of the box.  Spray paint black.  Make a wash of white glue and water.  Crumple tissue paper, unfold and tear into pieces.  Use glue wash and tissue to cover box exterior, being sure to add texture and ridges.  Dry overnight.  Use ink blending tool to apply Distress Inks (Dusty Concord, Shaded Lilac, Broken China, Worn Lipstick).  Add velcro tape for lid closure.

 

The rest is simply creating elements to be applied to the box with more glue wash.  Here's an Enabler's List to tempt you astray :

  

Lid Panel:  FlourishedNoel Set,  Here and There the Dark Pointed Firs, Spellbinders ResplendentRectangles, Brilliance Pearlescent Jade inkpad, Distress Stickles Rock Candy, gold gel pen

 

 

Front Panel:   WarmWinter Wishes, ChristmasCuddlers Word Set, Spellbinders ResplendentRectangles,  Spellbinders Small Deckled Mega Rectangles, Worn Lipstick Distress Ink

 

Right End Panel: Snowflakes are the Fairydust, Spellbinders ResplendentRectangles, Memory Box Frostyville Snowflake Border, Perfect Pearls Mist, Broken China Distress Ink

 

Back Panel: Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow (Large), FlourishedWintertime Images, Broken China Distress Ink

 

Left End Panel: Deck the Halls Set, Memory Box Frostyville Snowflake Border, Perfect Pearls Mists, red and green gel pens

 

Once assembled and dry, lightly rub Dusty Concord inkpad lightly over ridges to highlight texture.  Allow to dry a few days and go over surface again with glue wash for a good sealer coat.

Good Luck!
