for something or other which were
in a box a friend had sent me with craft goodies.
It was then that I decided it needed a make over.

As you can see it was pretty ordinary but a lovely solid box.
Not the easiest thing to photograph so bear with me
with the photos I took along the way.

After applying gesso all over I added
Textured Sand Paste randomly and some stenciling
with Tim Holtz Stone Stencil.
Continuing on I added my bits and bobs of
chipboard pieces, punchenella, cheescloth
and clear rock candy crackle paste.
Adding colour with Lindy's Magical's in
Witches Potion Purple. Caribbean Blue
and Blue Hawaiian Blue.
Added a die cut and heat embossed sentiment
which was inked accordingly.
Finished it off by adding
Art Alchemy Mermaid Sparkle Sparks and Waxes -
Heather Hills, Peacock, Rose Robes,
Cosmic Shimmer in Patina and Frosted Heather.
Now some photos in no particular order.
It was so nice to have a big break over
Christmas/New Year but now
anxious to get messy in a creative way again.
Thanks for dropping in and don't forget to
pop over and see what my
Really Talented Team Mates created
and Welcome Jo to our flock.
Hope to see you in the Gallery.
Till next time - Cherrio

This is absolutely GORGEOUS!!!! I have a "thing" about boxes. If it's a good sturdy box I'm saving it. Never thought to embellish them, thanks for the inspiration. I love your soft colors and all that texture. Simply beautiful and now it's a treasure!!!
This is fabulous, Ina! I can see you sitting there getting all messy and inky with that one! Love all these embellishments. Awesome steam punk project!
I love the blue and purple together on your box makeover. Wonderful project,Ina.
Beautiful decor on the box and in such fabulous colors.
A gorgeous decorated box Ina. Beautiful colours and fabulous textures xx
You make some of the most beautiful things, and this box is one of them! I love all that great texture, color and especially the design! It's gorgeous!
Wow, what an amazing make! All the detail looks stunning, I love how you layered up all the pieces and the softness of the colours is so beautiful with the shimmer and shine - perfect 😁. Thanks so much for the warm welcome, I'm so excited to be part of this wonderfully talented Design Team! Big hugs, Jo x
So we both were in a "recycling box" mood! I love what you made with yours: the soft colours and the joy infused in, and of course the steampunk elements together.
Wow.. what fabulous texture and creativity on your amazing box Ina. Fabulous elements and colours and now you really have one very special box for those tapes x.
Very pretty altered box Ida. Lovely colours. Have a creative month. Judy
WOW! You've created a masterpiece from a plain box, Ina! Gorgeous texture, colours and dimension with your amazing mix of stenciling, pastes and die-cuts. Great work! xx
