At Fashionable Stamping Challenges the new theme is to make/alter something that is, ' 3 D ' it could be a bag, box, jar etc... Please pop over for all the information and see what my design team sisters made. We have our regular sponsor Flonzcraft and as always stamping must be the main feature on the project.
I think you may have guessed how this box started off, you know the famous round cheese variety, thats even better when its a bit squidgy in the middle.
The box was first painted all over with cream acrylic. The inside is plain cream.
I then cut a circle of card to cover the lid and a strip for the side and stamped them up.
All the images and background are from Stampers Anonymous sets.
The trimmings were scraps of fibres etc
The shading is all Tea dye and vintage photo distress ink, with a touch of gilding wax here and there.
I think I may be making more of this masculine style box, fill them with a few nice chocolates when I need a small gift for a male. This one is going to be used by my OH .
I use his products on a regular basis and am always inspired by the way he can take things from everyday usage and totally transform how they look.
