Make a Box at That Craft Place

Good morning lovelies - how are you today? Thanks for dropping by yesterday and for the lovely comments you left.  Well we had a lovely day yesterday - we went off down to Rufford Old Hall in between Preston and Southport and played some tudor games and looked around the house. Its a National Trust Property and we have been before but we've spent most time in the garden. Yesterdays visit was more about the house and we had lots of fun. Not sure whats on the agenda today - there's talk of the zoo at Blackpool but also of bowling - so we'll wait and see what transpires.

Today at thatcraftplaceblog there's a new challenge starting - its all about making (or altering) a box. Here's what I did:

I started out with a plain MDF money box from the MDF man. I primed it with gesso then painted with pebeo acrylic paint. Then I used my fave crafty individuals script stamp and stamped on the box in sepia archival. Next I used two stencils from that craft place and added the images on the sides of the box. Finally I decorated the top using a stencil from Imagination Crafts and some flowers/fibbon and butterflies. This is bound for my daughter Penny who will be 6 on Thursday - I hope she likes it!!!

I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:
