Several people commented on a card I had made that was on the Hotshotcrafts stand at Olympia. They wanted to know how I did the vintage look so here is a very quick tutorial to show you how to do it

Hi Sarah here from sarahwrightdesigns.blogspot.com. I thought you might like this quick and easy tutorial that will transform a plain box blank into a vintage style box.
All you need is
- Silver card
- Black acrylic paint
- old paintbrush
- emboss folder and die cutting machine ( I used Sizzix Big Shot)
- Sizzix dies, flowers and leaves
- Kitchen roll or cotton wool
- Craft mat ( optional to paint on )
 | |||||
Start of with a box blank  |
Paint over card with black acrylic paint
 |
| Wipe of acrylic paint with kitchen roll or cotton wool. some of the paint will remain in the recessed parts of the embossed image |
 |
| Stick pieces of card to box sides |
 |
| Paint lid of box with Acrylic paint |
 |
| Add the flowers and leaves that you have made, using the same process |
Your box is now complete
