The Green Mixed Media Treasure Box




I am a huge fan of boxes ever since I was a little girl. I remember my mom arguing with me for always saving al kind of boxes. I felt like I had to adopt every single box that I touch ...lol.  

When I discovered that you can actually make your own box, It was like in a dream. 

That is what I love about Eileen Hull's Scoreboard Dies from Sizzix. You can make your own box out of so many materials. 


 


I started  this box by first designing my own paper. I used recycled paper from my printer. Using a @gelpress printing plate with acrylic paint I started printing my own paper. I added layers over layers of paint creating different patterns. 






When done with the background layers I added some gold flower details, using acrylic paint and Eileen Hull's  Watercolour Flowers & Lattice Stencil. 






Using the same paper  and Eileen Hull's Painterly Blooms & Background Thinlits Die by Sizzix , I did some 3d flowers. It is amazing how they look. So much texture, color and patterns.  













With the remaining paper I did some cards to go with the Treasure Box. It is a great present for that special one. I really enjoyed making this project. 

Detail photos of the cards will be included in the next post.
