I haven't got a card finished today because I finished this box for my shop today.
I stamped JustRite's Anchors Away onto wood veneer and die cut it in my Grand Calibur with JustRite's Nested Medallion Labels Dies, then painted it with craft acrylics. Unfortunately, the paint was drying too fast even though I used a retarder, and it's not as smooth as I would have liked. It looks smoother in person. I was also having trouble shading the rope because it was drying so fast and it looks a bit messy in the photo. Then I mounted the veneer onto a wooden box and put a few coats of varnish on it.
I'd rather be making cards, but customers like my boxes too, so sometimes I have to make other things.
Terrific box and that image is perfect to go with the shape of the box!
