Altered Box - Masculine

Hello Everyone

Apologies that my posts are a bit erratic, but it's that time of the year that our kids are writing exams and my husband has been away in the States for more than a week already.

So yes, life has been a little hectic.

My brothers birthday is in a 2 weeks time and my parents were going to visit him.

So I wanted to send something along with them.

This is what I sent.

I really had so much fun with this lid, where I used all sorts of powders and paints to get this old and rusty effect. I really do love all the rust Pentart products that makes it so easy.

I used some Graphic 45 bits and pieces for the inside and outside as well.

Sadly I was in such a rush to photograph and pack this box that I didn't take any photo's of the inside.

LOL....I will leave that up to the imagination.

In anycase, I really hope my boet likes it.

I am sure he can put all sorts of knicky knack stuff inside.

Okay lovely people, I hope you are all well!

Wishing you a fabulous Monday!

Altered Box - BoBunny and Pentart

Hello Everyone

 

Apologies that I have been missing for a week.

My Son was writing exams and it was the first time that he had to write exams, so I had to assist and help and that took up quite a bit of my time.

Thankfully they are writing their last exams today and then there is 2 weeks of school and then holidays! We have made it! LOL

 

Anyways, I am sharing an altered box that I made.

I was inspired by Marta Lapkowska...she gave me some wonderful seeds of inspiration.

If you haven't checked out her blog or YouTube channel...then really do yourself a favour.

 

So here's the box.

 

 

I used BoBunny laser cut tags and adhered them to the box.

I then used Dekor Paints (Grey and Pink) from Pentart to paint the box and then still added some thick gesso for some white highlights.

 

Lastly I added some Pentart Chameleon wax and Antique wax paste.

 

 

I had taken a few photo's while I was making the box and one can really see the waxes...they really add a shimmery yet "oldy" and vintage feel to it.

I also think the tags add such gorgeous texture and detail to the box...almost like an Indian trinket type box.

 

 

I really do love how this turned out.

 

Well tomorrow is a Public Holiday here and so I am looking forward to a long weekend of relaxation and also some crafting.

 

Wishing you a fabulous day!

Chocolate/Gift Box - BoBunny Sweet Moments

Hello Everyone

Today I have a chocolate box/gift box to share with you.

I altered a little box and used the BoBunny Sweet Moments collection.

I used BoBunny crackle paste and then coloured it with some pink pigment ink.

Here's a look at the side.

I fussy cut quite a few elements and used these around and on top of the box.

Here's a photo of the back.

and lastly, here is a peek inside.

I know that I can definitely use this for a friend's Birthday or something.

These little boxes always come in handy! ;-)

Thanks so much for stopping by!

I hope you have a super day! ;-)
