This is my DT project for this month

Rochelle's Christmas Trinket Box

I started off with a Black Cigar box and hubby sanded 

it back with the electrical sander for me...

 Then I primed the box with white gesso and used blue acrylic paint 

and painted about half an inch from the edges inside and 

out to make sure the edges of the gesso didn't show.

I lined both the interior and exterior of the box with patterned paper

over which I used the texture paste and "Art is" and stencilled on the lid

and the used the "Doily" Stencil around the sides.

Following this I was then able to apply the spray mist

to the stencilled surfaces in a colour to compliment the

silver embellishments and blue flowers I had chosen.

I then dressed the under side of the box with card prior

to fixing the lovely ornate feet.

The final touches were to place the Heart Frame

from my much loved Scrapmatts inside followed by

my hand made Stick Pin on the front to compliment and tie in

all the other embellishments and a

a length of diamanté trim and it was job done.
