For today's SKETCH;
Would you believe that this was my little girl's empty ballet shoe box that I almost threw out into the recycling bin?? LOL!! Altering it into a sparkly keepsake/gift box for FALL was definitely more FUN and worthwhile!
To Alter the BOX, I began with covering it completely with Shimmery Fabric CS, Gold textured CS & matting with MM Maroon CS;
These embellishing flowers are the perfect texture to : Paint, stamp, ink, spray, stain, color or just use as is-> in natural white tones.
To Alter these lovely Naturally uncolored Flowers
Start by spritzing these flowers with water, then ink/sponge them with a SU dye ink. Once dried, brush on Gold Leaf fast dry Enamel to the outer edges. Afer that enamel has dried, add Gold Stickles glitter and MS Gold Ultra-fine Glitter to the flower's petals and vines. This adds extra sparkle & Glitz!! The final touches were topping everything off with Gold Shimmer Spritz.
The inside of this BOX is also decorated with the same metallic shimmery CS DPs to match!
TFL & Happy Creating!

Perish the thought! You almost threw this box away! So glad you saved it, because we would have missed seeing such a beautiful design. Love this! TFS :0)
