I’ve recently been dabbling with paper towels (more specifically, the construction grade towels from Home Depot.) Here’s an altered vintage metal box that I created using clear stamps (Romantic Botanicals available at Crescendoh) designed by the wonderfully talented, Rachel Emilie Jackson.
You can find the how-to instructions over at the gallery at Crescendoh, the source of this beautiful photo BTW.
On a separate note, I’m just putting the finishing touches on a few things for my next giveaway. Hopefully, I’ll have them ready and posted by this coming Friday.

I love this…I love the simple stamp on the white washed background. The buttons add a nice whimsical touch! What a nice little keepsake box!
Hope all is well in your corner of the world (O:

Wow! Just gorgeous. And to think it was created out of something we’d normally use to wipe our hands and toss in the trash. Thanks for sharing!

I don’t want to sound repetitive..but it *really really* does look like paper made by hand, that’s amazing, I never would’ve thought to try that! It’s lovely!
