A Box Full of Wishes and Hope

Hi and welcome to my blog  :)  I am sharing a pretty box that I made as one of my samples for Chocolate Baroque's floral shows last month.  I have used the Wish Flower stamp; black gesso, Dyna paints,Aztec paints, Versamark ink, black embossing powder, gold marker pen.

I took a plain wooden box and painted it with black gesso, it only needed one coat.  




I stamped and embossed the flowers and words on the top of the box.  I then painted the flowers with the acrylic paints and used a gold pen to add dots around the flowers.   I love doing this as it gives the project a folk art feel.

I repeated the process with flower heads on the sides. I had the lid down when stamping the images so that the flowers were on both the box and the lid.

I added a piece of die cut foliage which I had painted gold.

When all the flowers were painted I decided to add gold paint around the words to make them stand out.

To complete this project I painted the inside of the box gold.

I really enjoyed painting this lovely box, these beautiful stamps look as gorgeous on home decor projects as they do on cards.
