Tissue Box

Good morning dear Crafters,
 I'm back with a plywood tissue box I bought from Sarah's  Shop Craft All Day
I have tried to make it a shabby chic one, hopefully I've succeeded :)
First of all I glued a few bits of paper to the box, and used gesso to dry brush over the rest of it, I dabbed on some peeled paint distress ink stain and brushed it in with some water, using an ink pad I added Vintage photo ink to the edges, I stencilled using Gesso and Texture Flourish by Memory Box on the top corners and stamped here and there with KaiserCraft Script & Postmarks stamps.
(lots of pics)







The stunning lace 75mm 'Michele' White Guipure,  String Pearls, Pink 20 & 10mm Open Roses, Iced Lime Green Seam Binding Ribbon, Hessian, small Lace Ivory Butterfly, Small Oval  Lady Cameo, Cheesecloth, Key with Scrolled Heart Charm 
All the products above are from The Ribbon Girl Shop 
Thank you for looking, hope you like it. 
Oh before I forget, I will be back shortly with my candy Winner for the A Creative Romance Blog Hop
