ATSC Recycle

Hi guys,
hope your weekend is lovely where you are,
for my project today for Addicted to Stamps I've recycled a Zovirax box

My mind always goes blank when I have a recycling challenge to do so I keep all sorts of things to hopefully inspire me and this time this was it lol

My mind works in mysterious ways and when looking at it I thought!oh that would make a lovely seat for a wedding couple lol,
first I covered it with paper and inked all the edges with walnut stain distress inks after distressing the upper edges,

I then covered another layer on the front in Pion paper that had hints of muted colours, over that I added some gorgeous lace, lace flower trim for mock cushions, pearl string, two Marianne heart dies that I joined together in the middle and a Doo Hickey heart swirl die for the back,


I made some arms for the sofa using another Marianne die which I edged with the distress ink too,
to finish the ends off I added flowers to the sides,

a couple of lace flowers edged sideways finish it off too on the sitting part, the gorgeous Magnolia couple from an older collection we're coloured with my distress re-inkers and then cut out, I fixed them using a strip of card behind the figures and stuck on the settee as shown, I  hid these strips with the lace flowers after by bringing the lace flowers forward,
to finish off my sofa/settee I placed it on my latest Marianne die cut, see previous post and added a Sissix lamp post finished off with a few pearls at the back, these we're edged with walnut stain distress ink too,

Hope your not fed up with my numerous pictures again lol
