I covered this pre-made papier mache box in tea paper, painted the bottom & inside, painted the lid in cream-colored acrylic, and stamped it with peach polka dots. The trellis effect on the sides was done by doing quick swipes with a brush.The red heart shapes were stamped with a stylized rose image foam stamp. I applied paint to the leaf of the rose only (not the full rose image) and stamped it. The polka-dots on sides and top of lid were stamped with cake decorators. These are short wooden dowels with circles of foam glued to the ends. I bought them on clearance at Hobby Lobby for $1 for 2 small and 2 med.

It's beautiful, Sandi!
That is so beautiful! Did you cover the dowels with foam or did they come that way?
Have a Blessed Week!
Hi Flassie: The little, short dowels came with one end capped with a tiny circle of foam. But you know polka-dots can be made with any number of tools, including a pencil eraser. I just bought the dowels because they were so cheap (pennies) and we know how fun and addictive it is to buy art supplies! Lol!
And thank you so much for your encouraging comment at my blog. Where are you??? Prolly working too hard, huh? I KNOW how that happens!
I'm baaaaaaak!!! Happy Thanksgiving Sandi.
