Live in the Sunshine - The Outpost Box with Distress Stain Splats


Over on the Happy Daze Blog I have made this box using the Artistic Outpost plate, 'The Outpost' using Distress Stain splats.


I used white pen to highlight the house and popped the smaller image into a bezel. I coloured the ribbon with Distress Stain to match.

I used the text stamp and wording all around the box. It says, 'The Ornament of a house is the friends who frequent it', and 'Live in the Sunshine'. My home has a lot of ornaments when my friends come to play, and a lot of sunshine!
Colin doesn't like this box but he did like the splats inside so he said I was to take a photo of the inside, even though it is plain. The splats are such fun to do. I really love this stamp set. It's new (to me) and I will be using it a lot.

I am entering this into the May Referral Programme for the Artistic Outpost, and Our Creative Corner, the theme of which is Anything Goes. You can buy Artistic Outpost stamps direct from them if you are in the US, and from Happy Daze if you are in the UK.

    This is such a pretty box. I think the splat background works brilliantly with the stamps, which are lovely. Good luck with your creative endeavours. x
