A gorgeous project from a rejected piece of times gone by. I'm so sorry for the loss of your husband's brother in Vietnam. That was an ugly war and we lost so many great young men. I'm sure he would love to see what you have done with his suitcase.
Wowzers Elizabeth, what a BEAUTY! Of course the Stamperia Provence and Lilac papers are among my favs so you just can't go wrong. This turned out so amazing and the fact that you rescued your uncles suitcase is fabulous! I hope you find a happy home for it in your CP!
Where to start....about a year ago I rescued this old Samsonite suitcase from the burn pile where my husband had tossed it. I thought at the time, I could do something with it. I brought it to my Craft Palace and it sat in the little bathroom for a long time. The Samsonite suitcase originally belonged to my husband's older brother, who was a Green Beret and killed in the Vietnam war.
After looking through gobs of pictures on Pinterest, and finally having the spare time, I started on this project about 3 weeks ago.
I decided to decoupage the outside with Stamperia's beautiful Provence and Lilac Flowers Collections since lavender/purple is my favorite color and it would compliment some of the decorations in my Craft Palace. I decided I would use it to store my laces and other goodies, if room.
I posted 6 collage pictures of the start to finish process since I didn't figure you would want to go through 16 pictures! I used LOTS of scraps and did some random stamping.
