June Challenge

          Hey everyone, its Jo and I'm back to share with you my take on this months challenge.  

My choice of word to replace happy was joy, and the frame I made using my nestibilities.  I then painted it and crackled over it .  The paper is an Echo Park pack from Mad About Scrappin.  All the flowers are also from the store.  Leanne has some lovely ones in at the moment so pop over to the shop and have a look.   Check out the full details for this months challenge on our Facebook page and have a go.  We love to see what you create!   Thanks for allowing me to share     Pin It Now!

And the June challenge is LIVE :)

Tiny Shabby Altered Box

My son bought me a few little boxes from the thrift store for Mother's Day so I decided I would alter one, using a variety of gorgeous flowers from the Mad About Scrappin Store, I couldn't really go wrong.

I first Gesso'd the little box and then coated it with one coat of white acrylic paint. On the base I placed four half back pearls for the feet and then covered the lower section with a wide lace adding some pearl trim around the top edge. The lid was decorated using a small lace trim around the edge along with more pearl trim and then a wedding applique was put on top. 

A beautiful selection of Mad About Scrappin flowers were then arranged on the lid in a way so that a tiny little frame could be propped up. I used some green acrylic wheat spray that was purchased from the Flog it Friday event on Mad About Scrappin's Facebook page to break up the pinks and then I slightly glittered some of the flowers, added a few pearl beads and tucked a lovely piece of lace behind the picture.  Finishing it off was a Stick Pin and piece of gorgeous seam binding to be used as a closure.

Inside the box I placed three more gorgeous flowers and a wider lace from Mad About Scrappin and finished with more pearl trim. Once it was finished I filled it with some dainty little vintage laces. I think this little box turned out beautifully and reminds me a little of a cake!!!
I hope you like this little box :)
