Album: Regina Mangum (The Stampin' Bean) - July 2009 GSS MAILBOX
After sanding the unfinished wood mailbox, I painted it with white acrylic gesso, then sponged on a light layer of moss green acrylic paint (mixed from brown, green, and yellow acrylic). Next, I sponged bronze acrylic paint over to allow some faint green to show through. Using textured cardstock (Bazzil Lagoon and Blue Grass), I cut the cornice-punched liners and attached with craft wood glue. Double-stamping the Mail image from Papertrey Ink's Vintage Picnic, I cut out only several of the letters and attached with foam squares to add dimension. Using some shimmery bronze cardstock, I used a Nestabilities die cut and Big shot for the background circles. Encore copper ink was used for the sentiment and embossed with Filigree Clear Embossing Powder. A few dark brown pearls, Baja Breeze 1" Grosgrain Ribbon for a matching bow, a bit of white grosgrain ribbon for hanging, and letters are now ready to post!
