The day where all kinds of  artists from many different genres, join in The Creative Blog Hop (TCBH) after being tagged by someone the previous Monday. The Creative Blog Hop is the brain child of a blogger, whose identity has been lost along the way.

Heya everyone! For this project I have used: Spanish dancer from Ikes Art Ice skater from Ikes art A Paper Mache box White prescored card Gesso Dusty Concord distress ink Shaded Lilac distress ink Orchid purple promarker Putty Promarker Lime Green promarker Lavender Lace liquid pearls Purple Ribbon Die cut leaves and flowers coloured with promarkers Before I talk about the mundane process of making this, I suggest you pop over to  Ike's world challenges have a look at the challenge, check out the freebie and participate in the best challenges ever!  {No I'm not biased, I used to VERY nervously do the challenges myself and I promise every is very nice and kind!} Now on to the mundane stuff!  I bought the box and covered it in a thin layer of gesso, so thin it dried almost instantly.  Then I used ink dusters but you can use cheaper alternatives to mix a combination of dusty concord and shaded lilac onto the box. After this I used lavender lac...
