Back to doing decoupage today!!!

I picked the theme, "spring is in the air" for my artchix group lottery. The cards being made are so lovely and lots of participants. So I decided the lottery winner would need a cigar box to hold their winnings!! I gessoed the top and than decoupaged a floral image of mine that I digitalized. Added the chixie flower girl and some german scrap and a little paint! Voila, a printemps boit pour les "atcs"!

    that's such a thoughtful and generous thing to do ...

    but that's what makes you The Pegster.

    It's very pretty - I like the watercolor-y quality the flowers have taken on.

    I've always wanted to try decoupage. And I've always wanted to do something with a cigar box. What you've done is so pretty. I admire your work!
    What is the artchix lottery?

    Peggy,

    I just got a chance to see the box. I KNEW that it would be spectacular. After reading the mentions of it in the ArtChix group, I found a couple of neat little boxes at the Goodwill that I decided I would decorate for my growing collection.

    Thanks for the inspiration!
