A mixed media guest post by Carolyn Dube
Do you ever have trouble buying a gift for someone because they are able to buy themselves what they need? I was stumped for a gift for an older family member and decided to go with a box of tissues.
Everyone needs tissues and whenever there is a tear in her eye or she does one of her cute sneezes, I want her to know how much she is appreciated.
A generic box of boring tissues doesn’t shout you are loved. But a stenciled box of tissues does.
So I let myself play with paint and stencils all over the box. During the last step, I did something that I shouldn’t do. I know better than to do it because it has ruined so many of my pens. But I just couldn’t help myself and hopefully it didn’t ruin my pen.
Check out the video and see how this box was transformed!
All the stencils used are from StencilGirl Products.
