Varnish

Resin embellishments

Ball chain

Black oil color

Pearls

To start the project first I remove the lock and hinges from the box. then I had stick the ball chain on the borders of the box and paint the box with light grey color. For light grey color i have mixed AnRa crafts pale azure and white color together. AnRa Crafts chalk colors are very smooth, just one coat is enough to give the perfect surface. 

 I also colored my resin embellishments in grey color.

I have used beautiful AnRa Crafts " I Love Paris " decoupage paper for this project. I had stick the paper on the all four sides and inside of the lower part of the box . I had cut the lady face for the upper part of the box. When the resin pieces got dry then i arranged them on the box and stick them . When the color got dry then i gave a coat of varnish on the box. 

 

 To highlight my resin decoration I have used black oil color. I paint the embellishments with black oil color and then i rub them with the wet tissue to clean the extra color . I did the same process with all the resin embellishments. 

Then I decorated the front part with pearls and highlight the surface and all the resin parts with AnRa Crafts frost silver chalk paint. For inside i did stamping on the four corners of the box and stick a decoration peice in the middle. Now its time to add the lock and hinges back. And then Igave some final touches with silver color to complete the box. Hope, you all will like the project.

Mix Media Photo Box

Hi all, Anika Mittal Here.....it's always fun to work with TECS bases and crafting products. I always appreciate the awesome products of TECS. 

     Here is the tutorial of double window Photo box---

1--Double Window quilling box

2---Vintage Beauty Decoupage Paper

3---Serene Decoupage Paper

4---Cherry Red Chalk Paint

5---Bubblegum Chalk Paint

6---Purple Fields Chalk Paint

7---Black Chalk Paint

8---White Chalk Paint

9---Vintage Gold Chalk Paint

10---Tiny Butterflies Stencil

Before starting, I removed all the hinges and latching hook from the box. It helps to keep them clean and it also helps to stick the decoupage paper properly. You can easily put them back after decorating your front and back of the box. 

I prepared base coat of gesso on the surface of the box first. After drying the base coat, I applied black color as base in front of box. To add some texture, I rubbed the wax candle on the surface. Now I gave the strokes of different colors.

After the colors completely dried up, I rubbed that with sand paper. I have used TECS butterfly stencil with black embossing powder to give some designer look of our front of the box.

Then I placed mix media elements in one slot of my quilling box and paste them together.  Another side of slots, I placed lady pic and put acrylic glass back with fabric glue. Now to do decoupage, I taped the sides of the boxes. Taping the top and bottom parts together , helps to do decoupage properly. 

After finishing the front , its time to start working on inner beauty. I colored the sides of the inner part and then did decoupage inside the box. 

Now its time to give your project final touches.  Take out your distress inks,  your golden color and give some corner strokes to give your project a final look. 

Hope, you all liked my pictorial. If you have any queries or suggestions about the project, please let me know. Always happy to share what I know!!! 

Happy Crafting to all of you!!!
