Altered Box - Joanne's New Design Project for February !

 Hi there, Joanne here to show you how simple it is to convert a box that you were about to throw out, into a treasured gift !

 

 So there I was sitting in my craft room - about to de-clutter as you do - when I spotted this empty box and thought this would be the perfect item to work with for this month's project !

 One found empty box !

So as you can see - its a plain box and all I did was cover it with one sheet of KaiserCraft paper (from their Base Coat Collection - Cardboard).  I then destressed the edges in black to bring it together.

Then I began to add embellishments from the new chipboard collection from Wycinanka - they are amazing and so easy to work with ! Here I have combined the' large feather's, 'photo film' and' fullness of summer' - in with some prima flowers and Tim Holtz ideology collection.

 I sprayed a Petaloo Butterfly with Gold Glimmer Mist and added a Wooden 'R' (Studio Calico) in order to personalise it. Then I added some narratives expressions - and added in some extra prima flowers and chipboard on the side to give it that added touch !  All it needs now is a 'special' something inside -but if you made this - then the box would be the big hit !!!

Enjoy and thanks for looking !
