our new theme by Our creative corner
"Christmas Leftovers"
Recycle your Christmas garbage. Gift wrap, empty gift wrap rolls, gift bags,
gift boxes, tissue paper, ribbon...etc.
The project itself doesn't have to have a Christmas theme, just the items to use to make it.
great idea from Pamellia, one of our new very talented DT.
I decided to make an old or new ;-) altered Box from a christmas box. I love to play with colors and textures in Vintagestyle.
, 
box was first painted with white acrylic paint, then I have worked with various effect creams
(Facettenlack Croco Crackling Colour Veneziablau and silver cream)
(Facettenlack Croco Crackling Colour Veneziablau and silver cream)
then worked with distress spray inks /vintage photo + walnut stain
sprayed and wiped
also added a few snippets old book pages with decoupage glue and
a crackle stamp + staz on Jet Black stamped
flowers are punched from old book pages and bright jeans cloth
Croco Crackling Creme silver applied in different strength
So bring your Christmas leftovers to Our creative corner

ReplyDeleteA wonderful box with all the vintage details I love! Beautiful ! Happy new year kerstin !
ReplyDeleteKerstin, I have to admit that I have been admiring your tin from the very first time you posted it on the OCCDTF. The mind-blowing detail and texturing together with the neutral tones work perfectly together.My favourite part is the gorgeous dropped melted metal effect you created with "Croco Crackling Creme silver applied in different strength" and the little framed girl. I love how balanced the embellishment on the top of the box is and how it draws your eye in and then around to all the other amazing details. Perfect project.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Kerstin! I hope you had a lovely Christmas.
ReplyDeleteThe transformation of this box is perfectly gorgeous. I adore all the wonderful texture you have created and your chosen colours are just stunning. Can you tell I love it?!!
