Here's a lovely little project to make for a friend or just be plain 'naughty' and keep it for yourself :) :) Just pick out the bits from the Octagonal kit that you want to use and then cover in gesso, using a baby wipe, let dry. Using the WOW Cracked Leather Stamp, ink up with Versamark and stamp on background octagon and emboss with your chosen colour. To cover the rest mix Vintage Champagne and Vintage Jade WOW Embossing Powders and emboss. For the word HOME, emboss with chosen powder, then add another two layers, this time using the Clear Gloss Ultra High Powder. Adhere it all with Pinflair Glue, and there you have a great little gift.

Then using the flower layers I spritzed them with water to help break down th
