Goin Green

I liked how my magazine holder turned out so I decided to paint some more stuff.  This time I used FolkArt in Basil Green.

I started with this.

And painted this.

I did some distressing and glazing.  I also added some twine and a tag to the candle. 005

I wondered if it needed a book.

What do you think?  Book or no book?  Too much green and too matchy matchy now?  Do you ever look at your before pic and think, “That didn’t look so bad after all”?

Here is a link for some printable tag templates.

Kristine McKay Designs blog has some fun printable numbers.  There is one for tags with numbers already on the tag.
