Guest Post - Creative Crates by Gerrina Poncin



Hello and welcome to the second post from our resident Guest Design Team member Gerrina. This week she inspires us all to create some very attractive storage crates.



This time something completely different! There are some little crates standing around in the house for a while now; the ones where you can buy manderins in, just waiting to get inked. Last week I started to work on them. 

At first I put gesso on it, but it looked not white enough to me, so I painted it with white acrilyc paint. I made this crate again with the beautiful Mackintosh stamp sets. First I stamped with Stazon in different colours. Let it dry completely before colouring them in with a waterbrush and Distress Ink and a little bit of iridescent medium.

Here you can see each side of the crate







As I said above there are more of those crates waiting to get some ink on. It is fun to do and my craftroom will look a little bit uncluttered again!

Thanks for looking!
