Cut pieces of paper (Memory Box Minuet) to size of top and sides of top half of the box. Stamp sentiment using black archival ink. Sentiment from Verses Rubber Stamps. Wrap tissue tape around the corners and edges of top half of box. It worked beautifully with the papers! Sponge edges with white acrylic paint. Finish with a touch of flowers and butterflies from Prima which were touched up with a little chunky glitter.
Here is what I started with:
The puzzle was fairly easy until we hit the bushes and the buildings. :) (The dog ate some of the pieces after we finished so the pieces were recycled and I held onto the box)Thanks for stopping by!
