Altered Box with Swirlydoos May Kit

 

Hi Everyone,

Today I wanted to show you my first attempt at altering a box using the May Swirlydoo kit.  I was inspired by Arlene from Butterfly Kisses and Jade from Jade Studios to give it a try.  I will be giving it as a gift to my Great Aunt that I haven’t seen in years.

I used some acrylic paint for the based of the box and the insides.  I then added some of the pattern paper to the top of the box. I used a Dusty Attic chipboard birdcage and spritz it with Pearl Ex Copper spray.  I attached a little key to the top. I added lots of flowers to the top cover.

 

I trimmed the edge of the box with lace.  On the inside I lined the inside with felt and attached some butterflies to the lid.  I plan on adding picture of the family for my Aunt to see.

 

Well, that will do it for me today. Thanks so much for stopping by.

The Button Farm May Kit

 

Hi Everyone,

Sorry for not posting in a while but I have been super busy with work.  I wanted to show you what I have been working on.  I received the May kit from the Button Farm and what a kit!  It contained so much stuff from companies like 7 Gypsies, Glitz Girls, ribbon, rubbon ons!  Awesome! 

This kit is not for the faint of heart and does take some time to complete but it is so worth it.  Here are some more pictures:

 

Well, that will do it for now.  Thanks so much for stopping by!
