February Mood Board-Altered Box Lid

I absolutely love Altered things. This month i decided to create a dream catcher with an altered box lid. I created this for my daughter who loves the colours of this months mood board colours. 

I started by covering a piece of paper with texture paste. Once dry i used texture paste through various stencils. I then traced around the box lid and cut it out, gluing it inside the lid. 

As you can see in the above photo i changed my mind on the stencil and went with a floral stencil. 

I then covered the edges of the inside lid with texture paste as well as the outside of the lid. I then added a chip board frame, resin roses and coloured beads. I then covered them all in white gesso.

I then used loads of lindy's sprays and finnabair wax.
Detailed products details at end of blog.

I then added some lace, ribbon, flower fabric, white beads and flat back beads and a white diecut. I also used a mitforms casting word and a resin butterfly. Both available in store.. The metal butterfly in the middle is off an old necklace. 

It was an absolute joy creating this dream catcher. Please check out the links below to the products used in this artwork. While checking out these products look at all the amazing chip boards, resins and mitforms.
​ Thank you so much for viewing my blog.
