So, here I go.
I started by die cutting some small hearts from corrugated card to give them some depth. I wanted to place objects inside them. I played around with embossed Waxed paper and some stamped backgrounds but it wasn't right!
I decided to leave my experiments overnight and had a think.
Today, I decided to make my project less complicated and simply paint a box.
I selected a heart shaped box, it is 2 inches high and painted it with 2 coats of PA fresco Little Black Dress. Next I rubbed Treasure Brass onto the edges and onto the already embossed sides and sealed it all with 2 coats of Gloss Glaze.
I Treasure Pewtered my hearts and found some shiny objects to sit inside. I sealed them with Glossy Accents but could probably have used Gloss Glaze??
I stamped in gold the Sara Naumann hearts sentiment onto black tissue paper and glued it around the lid.
I haven't decorated the inside yet but will make that another project.
I love my little shiny box! Thanks Paperartsy for the stimulation!
Here you go again, lol! And what a fabulous start Hazel. I love your shiny box too and those hearts are wonderful. What a stunning gift box for something really special .... for someone really special ;-).

ReplyDeleteOh yum - what a lucky find this little box was, and the TG does a great job of highlighting that fab embossed texture on the sides. And then your topping is genius - love the hearts full of wonderful shiny pieces. At this rate, you'll top even your fragile papers creations!!

Wow, Hazel, you have some brilliant ideas! I love this creation. I think Alison is right and you will top even those lovely fragile papers creations! xxx
ReplyDeleteSuch a fab shiny little box! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh thats beautiful, really lovely with lots of interest and depth! So pretty!
ReplyDeleteHow cool that the box was already embossed! Love what yo did to the lid though!
ReplyDeleteThe hearts ended brilliant embellishments, and I don't mean shiny, I think the glossy accent is right, resin is probably good too. Good idea to glue embossed paper to get texture on the box too.
