It is challenge day! Time for a new Challenge on the Lost Coast Design Blog- Portal to Creativity! The new challenge theme is to make a project using:
Board Game Pieces
Such as: Dominoes, scrabble letters, checkers, or any other game piece you can think of. You may use any stamp company stamps.
For my DT project, I stamped a portion of a Carmen's Veranda image on a domino and used it to accent a small gift box.
Materials List:
Stamp: Large Crown Tree from Carmen's Veranda
Ink: Saddle Brown and Black Stazon
Domino Game Piece
Metallic Rubs
Spray Inks: Mustard Seed Tattered Angels and Cherry Blossom Walnut Ink
CS: pink
Glastique Finishing Glaze
Small White Gift Box
Sandpaper
Cotton Swab
Instructions:
- Cut a square of pink CS the size of the box top
- Spray the CS with the spray inks and let dry
- Glue the CS to the top of the box
- Add a large pearl to each corner
- Glue the ribbon to the edge of the box top
- Tie a bow in ribbon and glue to box
- Sand the domino with sandpaper and wipe clean
- Apply the Metallic Rubs to the domino with a cotton swab and let dry- using a heat gun works well
- Stamp the upper right portion of the Large Crown Tree on the domino with Saddle Brown first and then Black Stazon inks
- Be careful not to wiggle the stamp
- Cover the domino with the glaze and let dry
- When dry, glue to box
Fill the box with jewelry, chocolates, trinkets, a gift card, or anything else! Wouldn't it be cute in Christmas colors? This box will be under my tree with a little something in it.
