I got some great news today ... I am now a member of the Craftymess Design Team, I am so excited and can not wait to start on my first challenge.  

Yesterday I decided to decorate a jewellery box for my sister-in-law.  I bought the paper mache box from a craft store and painted it black using acrylic paints then decorated it using gold leaf flakes.  I them coated it a few times using Inka-Lack varnish to seal and protect it ..... hope she likes it
