Chalked Gift Box

Hi! I wanted to pop in and share a small gift box I created, using the Stamp It French Travels stamp set and the Gun Metal Embossing folder along with chalks. The box was a supplied box I had on-hand that I had (extras from a shower).

I stamped the image using VersaMark onto my Premium White paper.

Then, I grabbed my chalks and gently started brushing them over the image.

I used a few different colors - pinks and purples, then blended them together.

I fussy cut it out also embossed a strip.  Then I sprayed them both with Glitter Varnish to hold the chalk onto the paper and to give it some sheen.

I wrapped it around the box and adhered it all together.

It's simple and fun.  I love the French Travels set - it is so sophisticated! Thanks for stopping by today!

P.S. Google Reader goes away Monday! You can follow me using Bloglovin!!! I'd love it if you did!
