Small gift box with Silver Crackle and Gold finish

Hi Friends,
I am back with one more box :) This one has a touch of masculine because of bright Cobalt Blue color.

For this MDF box I first painted the whole box with cobalt blue Plaid FolkArt Acrylic all surface paint. I did not use gesso to prepare by surface because you can use this paint directly on any surface.

 Then used Plaid's silver crackle acrylic paint on a beautiful stencil to make this gorgeous design. If you take the close up, you can see the small crackles.

 Distress all the edges using Gold Nuvo mousse.

 Apply the same Gold Nuvo mousse on the chipboard embellishment, Finnabair metallica label embellishment and cabochon pearls. The Mousse covers all the surfaces beautifully. I used my fingers to apply the mousse.

 Finally, apply two coats of varnish to seal everything.

Here is a close up of the top of the box. Hope you like my project and got inspire :)

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 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 !

Colours of Spring

Hi Friends,

I have made this colourful card to welcome the Spring :)

To make this card I have used the pattern paper scraps which are attached to the binding of the PP book and most of the time gets wasted.

I have distressed these thin PP stripes with Vintage Photo Distress Ink Pad to give the look of Bamboo sticks and pasted behind the quilled flowers.

I wanted to thank my little sister who helped me throughout the making of this card :) :)

This is my entry for Lulupu challenge#24 - "Scrap Your Scraps"
