A wooden Box

When I was in Canada visiting Isabelle she took me to a craft store (I forget the name of the store), where I got this lovely little wooden box. I only remembered to photograph it after I had started priming it, but I am sure you get the idea of what it looked like when I started.

After priming I painted it with Adirondak Sandal paint (about 3 coats), and added streaks of Viva Copper metal paint.

The stamping is done with Adirondak Rust and using Artifacts Butterfly Kisses stamps.

The "T" on the top is a grungebaord letter under copper metal, using Ten Second Studio tools to embellish the metal. It has been painted with Adirondak Espresso and Sandal to create a more distressed look.

To create the butterflies I painted some card with Sandal and Copper paint, then punched with a Martha Stewart punch.

I dont really think the photos do it justice, but they are the only way I can share the work!
