After trying Decopatch, I thought I'd give Napkin Decoupage a go. I glued a serviette to the MDF blanks, covered with varnish and then edged in gold Krylon.
Finally got around to using this gorgeous stamp from Lili of the Valley. She has been coloured using Copics; the paper is Memory Box 'Minuet' and the seam binding is SU.
I bought an MDF desk at a craft fair about 10 years ago and it has languished in a cupboard, untouched, ever since. That is, until this week when I decided to try out 'Decopatch' and give it a makeover. I tore the oriental paper into pieces and then glued them in place; painted the edges with gold paint; and then gave it a couple of coats of varnish.
Of course, it will probably end up back in the same cupboard, until I remember what I bought it for in the first place LOL!
