A Heart Box with Secrets

24 March, 2016 - Vintage Spring Basics, Vintage Summer Basics

Hello Everyone 🙂

Today it is me, Silje Kristin who stop by with some new inspiration for you 🙂

Today I thought I would show you a Heart Box, made with some lovely paper from Maja Design <3

This box that you see in the picture, was a large red box that I got in a Christmas present. I am very found of recycle or upcycle diferent boxes that I received or may have been a old packaging for something. And this project here is no exeption.

I have used pattern sheets from Vintage summer Basics and Vintage Spring Basics.

Vintage-Summer-Basics-P

Vintage-Spring-Basics-P

I have decorated the bottom and the lid with two different patterned paper, where the patterned paper on the bottom is the darkest, while the lid is in a lighter color.

All the edges are inked with Distress Ink – Ground Espress, before I used a silver chain with shiny diamonds. This chain is very easy to attach with glue.

The heart that is on the top is made based on the shape of the box itself.

Here i have selected one pattern sheets that have both colors of the pattern sheets I’ve used on the box.

On the tof of the heart i have used several different flowers, most of the flowers are from Wild Orchids, while some of the flowers are from Papirdesign.

In between the flowers are a large button with a bow, pearls and two large silver leaf.

I have tried to place the flowers and the other details, as a heart on the top of the box <3

If you open the box and turn the bottom of the box up, you can see that I have used a pearl string, now thw box have something to stand on.

Know you have seen my new project for Maja Design <3 A Heart Box with secrets <3

Hello Sweeties,

Today I’m up on Maja Design blog with a photo I’ve taken in Dublin of “The Wishing Hand”, an enormous bronze hand sculpture designed by Linda Brunker.

To make my background, I added first some paints on a stencil before applying it on the paper. When the stencil was still on the paper, I added some crackle paste.

When everything was dry I added some gray colors to the background.

As usual I used the Twinkling H2Os to color the leaves and the gray flowers, and I sprayed the purple ones with a Primary Element.

I added some glass beads and micro beads to finish the layout.

Hi there , thanks for stopping by. Today I have a diary that I have covered using some lovely Maja Design papers. They are from the “Vintage Spring Basics” collection & they are just so beautiful.

Firstly I covered the diary with the “5th of March” paper & then I cut some strips of the “7th of March”, “8th March” as well as some strips from the back of the “5th of March” that I had used to cover it with. I simply stuck the strips on to the front of the diary . I inked around the edges of the book with some distress ink.

I then proceeded to decorate it with some lovely 2Crafty chipboards, lots of flowers, a little string bow as well as lots of aqua micro beads for added texture. I also scattered a few pearls around too as well as cutting out two tiny butterflies from the paper to stick in the bottom right hand corner.

Well thats all from me today. Until next time.

Hello Sweeties,

Today I’m up on Maja Design blog a new layout featuring a photo taken in Rennes (France). This head has a long story as it has been stolen several time.

I started to add a thin layer of clear gesso to help the paper with all the inks I will add later. Then I added a design with a stamp and clear embossing powder. Then I colored the background with different shades of brown and black.

I covered the chipboards with a white crackle paste and I aged them with Twinkling H2O.

I colored the tip of flowers with two tones of Distress Inks and sprayed them allowing the inks to move along the paper.

I colored the leaves with the same Twinkling H2O I used for the background and added some silver Mica Powder.

I finished the page with Glass Glitter and Micro Beads.
