Good morning!! I'm so excited to be posting this... my first DT project for Delicious Doodles Challenges!. I just couldn't believe my luck when Teri invited me to join the team!
For this challenge I decided to make a box (after much deliberation and drooling over images) or, I suppose to be exact, I've altered a box .... it started life like this
...first I painted it with 2 coats of white acrylic to cover the pink. Then I used blue and brown shades of distress ink to colour it, using a mask to ink the butterflies on the sides. The top of the lid was decorated by applying grunge paste through a harlequin patterned stencil (a bit of a favourite!:D)and then dabbing the dried paste with blue distress ink... the gorgeous hydrangea is of course a Delicious Doodle image, I printed it 3 times, coloured it with copics then layered it up with pinflair glue and added it to the lid. Pearls and lace added to finish the outside.
Inside the lid I used another DD image, hydrangea and butterfly. This was simply coloured with copics, cut out and glued on!
Thanks for looking, I hope you'll take the time to pop over to Delicious Doodles Challenges to see what the very talented ladies have created... and to add your own creations!
Have a great day!
Chris
