I have upcycled an old chocolate box this month.
I started with a couple of coats of thick white gesso all over the top box piece as it was originally a dark green. I then used texture paste through a text stencil randomly over the top and sides of the top piece.
I painted the base sides with DecoArt Quinacridone Violet fluid acrylic and set it aside.
I used a frame, some flowers, a couple of butterflies and various sized beads that I'd made from resin to decorate the box lid. I stuck everything in place with more texture paste.
When it was all dry I used DecoArt fluid acrylics Primary Magenta and Quinacridone Violet with lots of water to add colour to the elements and box lid.
Once everything was dry I then had some fun by sprinkling and heat embossing Aged Gold and Chunky Gold Frantage all over the top and sides.

Stunning creation Andree! Shabneez x
ReplyDeleteWow, this is stunning! The pink with the gold touches looks so amazing and I love the beautiful resin pieces that you adorned the box with - gorgeous 😊. The texture is fabulous and using EP is such anfab idea. I've always wanted to try creating a page using these techniques but arranging all the pieces together and then covering them for some reason always overwhelms me, maybe I could give this try. Thanks for the inspiration and wishing you a Happy October! Hugs Jo x
