Altered Shabby Chic Pen Stand

Hello,

Today I have an altered pen stand to share with you all :)

I received this pen stand from my office and the moment I saw it, I wanted to alter it with my fav papers and embellishments! :)

So here is how it looks like.



Wanna know how it was when I received it? :)

It is pretty simple to make it. I covered all the 4 sides with the damask pattern from Nakshathra Designz - Black and White paper pack. I added a scallop circle diecut from Gina Marie Designs - Stitched Scallop Circles, and stuck 2 butterflies on 2 sides. The butterflies are foil stickers from Itsy Bitsy's Little Birdie brand. And the gorgeous flowers are also from Little Birdie! I love how the pen stand got the shabby chic look with these flowers!

To finish off, I added pearl stickers all around the edges :) I left the 4th side without embellishing so that it can be placed close to the wall.

Here are some more close up pics!





Wanna see how it looks in real? Here you go!
