Hi friends...my kitchen has cupboards with red and white flowers and so when I saw tissue papers with a poppy design...I just had to decoupage poppies to make a home decor set for my kitchen.
Here is how I made them...the base is made from MDF which I picked up from a local craft store. Painted it with gesso and white acrylic paint and decoupaged the poppies using Mod Podge.
The white are looked too bare...I didnt want to do stencilling but thought it could be cool to add little tendrils using Crealies stamps!
I used Crealies clear stamps and archival ink to stamp on to the decoupaged surfaces.
Tip : Clear stamps are easier to stamp on curved surfaces than rubber stamps and if the stamp is tiny you can mount the stamp on your finger to stamp!
The ink is smudged in some areas but I left it as such as I think it adds to the effect!
Decoupaging the Utility stand was more tricky as I decoupaged flowers on the inside too!!
The tissue box turned out the most beautiful item in the set.
This set is now proudly laid out in my kitchen! Hehe I am bragging today am I not!! But jokes apart...how do you think it looks?
