Elizabeth this box is just drop dead gorgeous, I love all the little details that you put into this box. The flowers and butterflies and the key it's so beautiful inside and out. :)
You always do such gorgeous work with the off the page projects Elizabeth! Loving the unique and beautiful embellishments you chose for this one! Beautiful! xo
This took my breath away, seriously! I LOVE every inch of it. The cluster of flowers, the little bird (I have used that one on cards), butterfly, lace, the pearl swirls, key...oh my I hope I didn't forget anything! Your sil will treasure this for sure! Hmmmmm I need to find a cigar box!:))
Hello friends! Here's an OTP project I made for a sweet sis-in-law for her birthday. I found a cigar box at one of our local antique malls for $2.00 as well as the pretty dusty rose applique that I cut down to use under the flowers. I was pretty excited about finding those for such a good price.
I first painted the entire box, inside and out, with Gesso so the printing wouldn't show through the papers I chose. Before applying the papers I inked around all the edges with TH Aged Mahogany as well as the edges of the box. Then came the fun part, choosing my embellies and figuring out a closure for the lid. My sis-in-law's bedroom colors are brown, beige and wine so I tried to keep it close to that color scheme. I'm sorry I don't know what brand of paper I used on the outside. It is from my stash.
The beautiful butterflies and small rose buttons are from Reneabouquets Inside paper is from The Paper Studio Country Roads Collection - Hobby Lobby as well as the pretty bird pendant and intricate key. Metal French banner is from Nini's Things that I won in a drawing. Burgundy colored lace is from my friend Brandy (Jellybean) Button for closure is from Joann's The lace applique packaging said Crown Originals - St. Louis Trimming, Inc.
