Using Stash from NEC


This is a slide mailer that I decorated with some of my things from the NEC last Saturday.  I have decided to enter it into the Lots to Do Challenge for this week - Vintage - hence the letter "V" on the front.

The slide mailer had already been painted, white and a pinky mauve so I kept with those colours and used my Blackberry Ferro Paint on my new stencil (bought from Leandra at Paperartsy last weekend).  The rectangular piece was one of the things in my C & C goodie bag so I removed the centre (think it was an icecream sundae) and replaced it with a piece of mauve cardstock and a letter V cut from a Spellbinders alphabet.


For the inside I stamped the words with Brilliance Violet Ink and then put the picture in on the other side, added a few flowers at the top to hide the glue holding the glass slide and some paper lace which I threaded with baby ribbon at the bottom.

That's my second contribution to this challenge this week and I am hoping their might be a third although time is running out as tomorrow and Saturday are busy busy busy.
