Loverly London

After a gorgeous sunny weekend, the weather today is dull and looks like it's about rain at any minute...so I could well be spending the day in my craft room...
I wanted to share my Pen Pot with you and also enter it in to the April Challenge over at Artistic Outpost.

I painted the pot in black acrylic paint,inside and out twice....then covered each side with some industrial design backing paper that I had in my stash.

Using some more industrial backing papers,in a light beige colour ( sorry the photo really dosen't pick the design up ) I stamped the images ( twice ) and sentiments from the "Loverly Stamp Set" by Artistic Outpost.

I trimmed one set of the images to size and distressed around the edges and adhered them to the sides of my pot.

The second set of images I lightly coloured and cut the characters out and laid them over the first stamped images on the pot...as there are only three characters I just overlaid the stamp for the side with the London sentiment.

Finally I mounted the sentiments and adhered them around the four sides...using Spray & Seal all over the pot to protect and seal the images...it also gave the pot a lovely shine, but the photo doesn't really pick that up very well.

So if you have any Artistic Outpost Stamps...why not pop over to their challenge...you can find it here....
