WHITE WASHED WITH GESSO

here is one of my DESIGN TEAM projects for this month for

 MEG'S GARDEN 

'WHITE WASHED TISSUE BOX'

Tissues boxes are so easy to cover and add such style to any room in your home especially your  bathroom or kitchen .

I used the delightful and enchanting Spring Paisley collection .

Cover the entire box and then whitewash with light coat of Gesso …

Allow to dry then I added a Memory Box, leaf die cut, using the same Spring Paisley paper collection.

Next I cut some chipboard with the leaf diecut ,

 and inked it with versa color ink, Bamboo .…

I positioned the cluster on one corner, 

 drooping it over the side  to add interest.

Layering …

Glue the paper leaves directly onto the box, 

 then layer the chipboard leaves over the top as a second  layer…

Lastly I added another coat of gesso to finish it off. 

this tissue box sits happily in our bathroom 

I am so pleased with the white-washed effect .
