Hi All Its a member blog hop at Smeared&Smudged. The theme was to use brown and green. I decided to alter a magazine rack I have had for some time. I first painted it green and then distressed the edges with brown paint and brown ink. I used images from one of my favorite digi sites Strange Skin. http://strangeskin.com/store.html Who has also offered the two digis below for one winner of this blog hop!!! All you have to do to qualify is leave a comment on each participants blog... it needs to say something about the project...not here's my comment or anything!!! My images were coloured with water colours and then glued onto the box. I did not have time to varnish it but will do this later, before it goes onto my work desk. Don't forget to visit the rest of the members of the blog hop and please leave a comment the list is below.
