For my DT piece for Creative Artiste Challenge Blog this month I was inspired by Alison Bomber of W0rdsandP1ctures and her Violets stamp set for Paper Artsy to create a 3d piece out of an old cheese box. I have made these in the past but totally forgot how much fun they are to make.
The whole box was covered with Gesso and I use Liquitex. I then covered the base of the box with Tim Holtz Distress Paint. You can see it but the cheese labels which were still on the box came through and gave a great addition of texture.
I then created my own tissue paper with Alison's stamps and covered the edges of the box with this.
For the front of the box which has the inside I added a piece of card which I had in my stash from an earlier gel press play so that really decided my colours. Luckily it was in a shade of violet. I added some background stamping - I cut out the violets many times to stick in various places on the piece. I tucked a bit of lace behind the violet and added some wash tape words. I also added some lichen from my garden - some Tim Holtz Funky Thinlet leaf dies - and can you spot right in the middle a tiny little air plant. It is a baby from one of the plants in my home. I think he looks right at home there.
I continued the theme on the back of the box - I used Distress Paint in Brushed Corduroy to give a sort of bark effect. I added an extra stamp of Alison's from her Pressed Umbrels set.
I love how it turned out and it may even get pride of place on the Easter table with some little chocolate eggs tucked in.
