This time I have altered a box I salvaged from the old-paper container next to our house. The acetate was missing from the lid, but I cut a new piece from the plastic packaging of a die. The box has been painted with gesso and then with 'champagne' acrylic paint. I covered the inside and underneath of the box with some script paper, which I distressed with Inka gold. I stamped around the body of the box using a LaBlanche stamp. I covered the outside of the lid with TH tissue tape, and distressed it all, outside and inside, with more Inka gold. I added a rose transfer to the lid. I hope this will make a nice box to pack a present in.
Before...
And afterwards....
That's all for today. Have a good day you all, take care, and thanks for coming by!
Morning, morning. What a treat. Beautiful altered box Valerie. Script and roses... Yummy! Inspiring as always. Have a wonderful day.

Completely gorgeous Valerie and I'd now like to discover something similar in next door's recycling bin!! I admire your creativity and the amount of quality items you produce - I never seem to find the time to do so much.
