My Birthday Kit

I purchased this tissue box holder a year ago for less than $1.  And I was hoping to have an idea with what to do with it by the time my birthday rolls around,  so that I would have a project.

So for the longest time, I had no idea with what to do with it.  It was a gaudy gold color.  It was gilded.

It was the worst thing ever.

So I put some gesso over it.

Painted it cream.

Painted the roses a soft pink color

And the leaves a pretty green.

Now that it's pretty, there is no stock of it anymore.

Not cool.

So I ended up making two lay outs and this luggage tag.
