"Tonight's project is all about the step by step transformation of a plain wooden substrate into something not only practical, but something beautiful to look at".
Let me take you through step by step ....
Let me take you through step by step ....
1. First, I carefully removed the knobs from the drawers.
2. I filled the holes with Grunge Paste,
to flatten the surface again and left it to dry.
8. Using my sanding grip again, I cleaned the knobs from all glue residues.
11. I stamped the text from Ink and The Dog Collcetion (Backgrounds Plate 2) on the top and the ledger from Backgrounds Plate 2 on the side, with Coffee Archival Ink.
Now for the
little embellishment:

See you all again tomorrow evening. France x
Leandra Says: Wonderful 1st project France, you have nailed the crackle/aged/distressed look perfectly. Those stamps are ideal for this project. Love the faux patina feel to the little wooden embellie frame.
Gillian Says: You have captured the distressed look amazingly well France, love the mix of paints/inks you used to achieve this look .... Ice Blue is the perfect colour for such a project. Love it muchly. x
