I did most of mine by hand and then I remembered that years ago I bought one of those Black & Decker Mouse sanders and so off I went to search it.
I found it lurking away at the back of my cupboard and hastily dragged it out and dusted it off... and it worked beautifully.
Luckily there were some fine grade sand papers still in the box and I set too and sanded the rest of the box with my Mouse
So now that I have it all stripped down and sanded the next thing to do was give it all a coat of paint inside and outside.
The first coat of white Acrylic paint looks awful and streaky ... but don't be put off. Let it dry thoroughly and we will come back to it tomorrow.
this one is done in Orange and Peachy colours and it is not one of my favorite colour schemes.
This is the Grand Decorative Ovals Card 3 and it is made in a somewhat different way. Click the link for the video tutorial
The gorgeous flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts
The beautiful "Bling" is from Want2Scrap for the finishing touch around the ovals.
Hope you enjoy the video ...
