Hello Friends,
2. I rubbed this surface in random places with a candle
This is Arpita,Hope you all are well.Today am very excited to share with you all my first DT Project for Craftangles.
I am sharing a beautiful Decoupage Creation today and the reason I love this art form as it can transfer your old treasure into something new and pretty. This is an old small metal trunk which is 40 odd years old and I tranformed into shabby and chick a look that I am in love with these days.
I have used the Gorgeous Decoupage Paper FLORAL FRENZY from Craftangles which was part of their new release. Also used their yummy shades of Chalk paints Snow White , Midnight Dreams , Blue Stone and Bubblegum Pink to make this piece.
