Based on a book blog hop

Scroll down for the Fabulous 50 blog hop...



You should be here from my crafty friend Anita over at http://www.anitaandbugs.blogspot.com but if not please head over to Tanya - http://little-scrapper.blogspot.com to start over and you will be so happy you didn't  miss anythin!!!!

Okay so for this hop I wanted to use my favorite books and make a box and album on all four books but I just didn't have all the time today so I was only able to finish this box before I stared cooking.

This is the top of the box and just the beginning...
 
These letters I got from the DCWV embellishment box and even though they were very glittered in red I had to use the silver glitter paint to give it the Cullen sparkle




I love how the box looks like its leather
really I just applied black Gesso and used wild strokes of bright red paint repeatedly but you can still see the grain....so cool

Doesn't this look so cool!!!!
The flowers are flowers that I have from my own stash

I painted the flowers with silver glitter paint
I am not done yet but the inside is going to have both worlds decorated within and the album is going to be loaded with my favorite quotes and photos.

I hope you like it!! I will be posting a youtube video when I am all done with the inside and the album.

Don't forget to leave comments so you can be eligible for the candy.

  4. Wow! This is soooo amazing! I love it! You did such an awesome job with painting it and all the glitter... Wow! Swoon, swoon. ;) I am so inspired to try out that awesome painting technique with the Gesso. Also, I LOVE that tree paper! Do you know where it's from? I'm also wondering how you distressed your edges... Do you have a distressing machine or a special technique? I would so appreciate it if you could either email me or leave a comment on my blog with the answers. TFS your beautiful creation!
