Altered Box

Hi Friends!

Today’s post is about an Altered Box, originally a Mobile package box which i was religiously hoarding for more than 4 years now. It’s a cute white 6″ box. Made this project a week back and gifted to my Dear friend for her birthday. She was thrilled to see this!!

Now will see the process of the project!

  • Took the box with lid, and white gessoed it totally.
  • Stenciled the base with Prima grid stencil with Prima light paste.
  • Sprinkled LSG sweet treats magicals on the stenciled portion and spritzed water to see the magicals burst colors.
  • Then its layered in Cheesecloth on all four inner sides and on the base centrally.
  • Doily, paper straws, Roses, resins and and other embellishments are added with few random partial stampings around the image.
  • Mini and macro art stones are added for little extra textures.
  • Timholtz chitchat stickers are added to kraft cs and added near the image.
  • A pink adhesive ribbon is added to the outside portion of the lid.
  • And on top of the lid, Prima Princess pp is added.
  • This finishes off my Project.
Some angled and close up shots for you!

Hope you like it!

  • Then on the front side, Stamplorations Hearts all over stencil is used to apply Prima Modelling paste and sprinkled heavily with Prima heart stones. Love the way those cling to hearts 🙂
  • Then took pieces of gauze strips and start to adhere in layers.
  • And Few designer papers , did stenciling using Stamplorations shutters stencil (which are not visible due to embellishments) and distress ink Tumbled glass.
  • Sprayed with Prima Color bloom frost mist…am totally amazed by this product. it gave such life to the project.
