I’ve used Carnival Queen decoupage paper by Mint by Michelle before, I just love her so thought I’d use her again, this is the smaller A3 size.
Perfect for this jewellery armoire.
Lots of blending, stencils and transfers. Over Frenchic Paint ❤️ Blackjack Trim paint that makes everything pop on this piece.

I’ve heard that there are only a few tickets for the Mint to Be workshop in October so if you want to meet the queen of decoupage you’d better hurry.
