Hi everyone! It's Crew Member Wednesday and we have Linda today showing how you can create a lovely pen holder from a cardboard tea box. What a great way of recycling and creating an eye-catcher on your desk!

Hello !
Today I want to share a project where I’ve recycled a cardboard box used for teabags. Here is an overview over material used.
To prepare the box for paint I covered it with a thin layer of white gesso
While the gesso was drying I stamped some flowers and leaves in various colors and ink.
To add colors to the stamped images, I painted acrylic paint on one side, leaving this as the backside of the image.
When the gesso was dry I added a color to the box, I choose yellow, mixed with white.
I used soft gel medium to glue the flowers and text to the box, decorating all 4 sides
Here I’ve used texture paste with a mask to add some texture.
New box for my watercolor brushes on my desk
