The Christmas Box

Good morning everyone it's Peggy Lee here to share with you a little Christmas Box that I altered a bit ago. I found this cute little wooden box at a thrift store for only pennies.

I knew I wanted to alter it as a little gift giving box for the holidays.

This would be such adorable gift box filled with pretty little ear rings, necklace or even chocolates.

Tutorial

Wooden box

I sanded down the wooden box and covered it with gesso.

Painted the edges with Silks Acrylic Glaze in Emperor's Gold.

Paper I used was KaiserCraft Turtle Dove.

Using a Prima mask (damask) design and stucco/gesso mixture

laid it down over the whole box.

I have boxes of those glittered snowflakes that you can get at

your local Walmart Store/Dollar Stores.

Stacked up to create a tree...

glitter snowflake-button-glitter snowflake

repeat until desired height.

Decorate as desired...I used this angel chipboard piece

from the KaiserCraft Turtle Dove Collection.

Added some Melissa Frances shabby chic frames,

cheese clothe,

string of pearls,

and my favorite little touches of

vintage mother of pearl buttons.

Decorate the inside as well and pretty place

to hold a little gift to share.

Thanks for stopping by today,

hugs,

Peggy Lee

Mixed Media Monday

I got to have some creative play this week with a friend and knew I wanted to create a mixed media canvas for someone special. That is why there is no title on this art piece yet (I will post after I have mailed this art piece out)! This was a lot of fun to create...

It all started with a plan 6x6 canvas, I glued down some wrinkled natural tissue paper.

I forgot to snap a photo of me trying out my new find which was Martha Stewart Stucco Paint where I used Crafters Workshop stencils with Splash of Color Primary Elements: Majestic Blue-Costa Rica and Dragon Wing powders those are so cool to mixed with molding paste or stucco like I used.

I used my favorite Tim Holtz Sizzix die: Tattered Floral which I cut with Coraline fabric with some of my favorite Tattered Angels glimmer mist. I just love how the Coraline will hold it's shape while being dried. I also used some Petaloo flowers that came in white.

I used some Dusty Attic chipboard pieces, which I cut apart and gesso them with spraying glimmer mist to give a weathered look.

These are Tim Holtz Sizzix die: Gears gesso-glimmer misted!!!

I just love how they came out.

Here is a close up of the handmade flowers with a Prima flower.

The next sets of photos show case the textures of adding layers of:

gesso, stucco, glimmer mist and stamping.

the fibers are cheese cloth covered in glimmer mists....

oops-I was being lazy and used my hand to clean my stamp...lol

and whoola my finished canvas (only needs a title) and will be complete and I hope my friend that someone special will enjoy it.

Don't be afraid of mixed media grab a few supplies and just start playing, it's all about the layers...enjoy!!

Thanks for stopping in today, remember to leave a comment!!
