Day 2 more MDF...

Happy Tuesday,

I hope you all enjoyed the launch of the One Day Special last night I have to say I had a real laugh with Lisa and doesn't she have some fab techniques?

Don't forget the double trouble crafting continues today at 9am, 12pm, 4pm and finally the last chance at 7pm!

Today's project is this wonderful MDF box which gives so many opportunities to decorate either with the stunning new Craft Consortium papers or any of the paint techniques.


I stared by covering the base and lid using a selection of the Craft Consortium Decoupage papers form the Antique whites set,  I then added the white crackle paper to a sheet of coconut white foundation card and die cut the perfect peonies complete petals from this.  I cut 4 full flowers and made them up, one for the front and three for the lid.  Next I cut the Splendid swirls form Kraft card and used the foliage as a base.  I added the swirls so that they twirl out with the peonies on top.

I will be demoing this box and technique today in one of the shows so for more details you may need to tune in!

Enjoy...

    Eh up John
    Wow! This looks marvellous. Pity I will miss all the shows except 7pm and I thoroughly enjoyed last nights and will miss how you did this gorgeous box.
    Lisa did very well and didn't look at all nervous.
    Have a great day.

    Hi John,
    It was a great show. Love the box - it might help if we had the sizes of the pieces?
    Just a thought.

    Lovely box. You are showing some really nice papers on these shoes. Enjoyed the first show, am recording the rest to watch at leisure. As you did the letter holder I could see it storing my limited number of ink misters!

    Hello John

    Really enjoyed your Hochanda show last night. It was very inspiring!

    I have never thought about MDF crafting, but you have inspired me to 'HAVE A GO'!!

    Thanks and look forward to seeing more of you and Lisa on the coming shows.

    Wow! for the gorgeous box and Wow! for all the other brilliant demos I've been watching. You and Lisa proved how simple it is to decorate plain old MDF with those lovely papers. They're certainly stronger than they look.
