so when i decided to join the "what's your style" challenge at Craft Hoarders Anonymous Challenge Blog ... i grabbed an old battered bright pink heart shaped box and decided to let "my heart" do the picking ....
This is what happened ....
I covered the box top in patterned paper and layered it with doilies an image from Graphic 45 paper and some hand made flowers, and all things pretty!
This box wax actually quite high ... to get the texture i wanted i painted the box in clay paint (which is very similar to chalk paint) in an old white colour. I trimmed the side of the box top with satin ribbon and then layered it with vintage white lace.
Just a wee close up of the top ... i like a lot of depth so the flowers much higher than the surface heart box top.
So, apparently my style is layered, textural, vintage and kind of white .... or at least my heart said so in this challenge ....
I can only wonder what my style will be on my next project!
Thanks so much for stopping by
Peace, love and paper

Gorgeous Jo! Funny how sometimes it's hard to define our own unique style in ourselves but yet others clearly see it. I know I feel that way. I see so much vintage loveliness and shabby goodness in your beautiful creations sweetie.
