This is my DT inspirational project:
I started off with the cute wooden box that houses Brie cheese by President:
I coated the entire box with gesso. Then, I painted it with purple acrylic paint. Finally, I applied Mod Podge (matte finish) all over it to seal it.
I used the darling "Angel Wishes" image by Conie Fong, found here in her etsy shop:
I coloured this beautiful image with Copics and FC Polychromos pencils. I glued the patterned paper, the image and the frames onto the box and applied Mod Podge over them.
I wanted the lace (which was white) to match so I dyed it purple with Glimmer Mist, and glued it around the box. I lined the insides of the box (top and bottom) with white felt. Lastly, I added the flowers and other embellishments and, voila, my finished box!
Here are some other views:
I had so much fun creating this altered box. Hope you have a lovely day. Hugs, Lori xx
