How about a baby Girl Tissue box holder?

Its time for another Tissue box holder!

 On today’s Tissue box holder, I used Prima's butterfly stencil, painted baby pink using acrylic color, pasted tones of cabochons. For some extra interest, wrapped twine 4-5 times on the sides of the box.

 Finished the project with a lace, chipboard sentiment and two coats of varnish. It doesn’t get any sweeter than this! Pink, candy, shine. What more can you ask?!

Mixed Media Tissue box holder - How to get this look!

Today I am back with a Stone effect Tissue box holder!

 I am going to show you how to get this Stone effect look by using Finnabair's Stone effect paste set and how to color it using Lindy's stamp gang shimmer sprays.

Firstly, paint the whole project using brown acrylic paint. Once it is dry, paint with grey color. When the grey color is still wet, using a damp cloth or wet wipe rub the grey color from the box so that underneath brown color start showing up. This technique gives a beautiful torn look to these grungy looking projects.

 Now comes the main part of the project. Using Finnabair's Stone effect paste set and Tim Holtz's stone layering mini stencil set give a good coverage to the whole box. The paste set contains three textures - Limestone, Pumice and Concrete. I am in total love with these textures. These are water based mediums that look beautiful real looking effect to your project without any effort !!!

 Using my most loved 'Art is' stencil I gave scripting effect to the project through white acrylic paint.

 To bring everything together, I gave generous amount of splatters on the box using white and black acrylic paints and thin brush.

 Use Lindy's stamp gang Industrial Chic sprays color the box. Blue , green and brown gave a very good effect to the textures of the box. Spray a little and then using a wipe remove the stains and extra color that gets settle on the ridges of the texture.

Take some Gold Perfect pearl on your palm, through mini mister spray some water on your palm, mix well and rub on all the edges of the box. This give a beautiful shine to the project! To get dripping effect, rub some mixture on the edge and spray water generously over it, the color drips down and settle on the ridges of the texture, to give a beautiful highlight and uplifts the texture work.

Decorate the box with some simple lace on inside of the oval shape opening.

Since, this is a masculine project, I wanted to keep the embellishments simple, but why not a crown!!! So I colored the chipboard embellishment through Gold perfect pearl and pasted on the corner of the box.

Look at the close up pic of the Pumice Stone effect, the texture is so real!! LOVE LOVE LOVE !!

Mixed Media Junk MDF Tissue box using Acrylic Paints and Perfect Pearls

Hello my crafty friends! I hope you all had a lovely weekend. Today I am back with another MDF Junk Tissue box holder…

For my Box, I first primer the whole box using white Gesso. Then I did some stenciling using 'art basics 3D matte gel transparent'. I used stencil 'Bubbles' and 'Art is'. I guess you know by now that 'Art is' is favorite stencil :)

Once completely dry, I glued my embellishments-Junk old jewelry pieces, laces, buttons, rings etc on the box using the same gel medium. Prepared all my embellishments using white Gesso. Once dry I painted the whole box including embellishments using FolkArt 2241E Apple Orchard acrylic paint.

Spray Lindy's starbust 'Mad Water Mint' spray all over the box. To give the project some vintage look, I did some shading using Hero Arts Brown color liquid dauber. To give more color variation, I spray 227E bright green acrylic paint Using an old tooth brush and lots of water. I hope you can see the small dark green dots all over the box!

To get the metallic shine, I first sprayed good amount of water on the box through my mini mister and through perfect pearls brush, I rubbed Turquoise perfect pearl generously. This process helped me to fix the perfect pearl on to box without coming off and a very good color contrast of green and blue.

 I glued the lace on top of the box. Colored Prima flowers using same Lindy's mint color spray and glued them on top for some extra interest.

 Lastly using Sunflower Sparkle Perfect pearl I did high lighting on the embellishments. Finally a coat of ranger's matte finish medium to seal the project. whoa!!! all done !!

 I am simply in love with these projects. Thanks for stopping by.

Mixed Media Junk Vintage Tissue Box

Are you ready for a totally different type of project today? Let’s create a mixed media junk tissue box!

I am totally in love with mixed media. The art of changing any object into a totally different form! Love Love Love !! :) 

 First, primer the whole box using 'white Gesso'. Then give texture to the box using 'Finnabair 3D matte gel transparent' over 'Mini Time travel' and 'mini art is' stencil . Then I took good amount of time in arranging my broken jewelry pieces, lace, ribbons on the box. Once you are satisfied with the positioning of the embellishments glue them using gel medium.

 Once dry, again apply a thin coat of gesso on all the embellishments and embossing. Using 'Folkart Calypso sky matte finish acrylic paint'  paint a thin coat on the whole box. Spray Lindy's stardust Mad Matter mint over and under the embellishments. Move the box slightly so that the paint can move in the intricate designs of the box. You can use your fingers to rub the paint. Use heat gun to dry the paint. To give some more colour interest I used 'medium grey' acrylic paint through my broad silicon brush and painted here and there.

Once every thing is dry, its time to highlight the embellishments. Since I don't have waxes as of now, I wanted to try my old friend Perfect Pearls for this purpose. I took some water and Turquoise perfect pearl on my palette and covered the whole box. This gave my box a metallic finish. Then I took some water and Sunflower perfect pearl on my palm, and gently rub this mixture on all the embellishments. This will gave a good dimension to your project. I rubbed Blush perfect pearl also over the script embossing.

Use Vintage Distress collage medium to give the project a worn / old look. Lastly Glue a thin lace over the top opening to give a neat look. 

Thanks !
