More mixed media 'red' challenge


This is my creation for this month's More mixed media 'red' challenge' - please click on the link to see the marvellous creations by the rest of the team and we would love you to join in our challenge.

An altered box lid - the original box was red with white spots as you can see at the side. I covered the lid with white gesso and then used mod podge to adhere a piece of the top later of a paper napkin with hearts. I used a Balzer's Design roses stencil with imagination crafts silver sparkle medium, then used a piece of sequin waste dabbing through the holes with red Colorbox ink. Ribbon, hearts etc were then added.

I intend to use this box for a Valentine's present for John ... although I haven't got a clue what I'll put in it!

    Hazel....what a great way to repurpose a box! Isn't Gesso just the coolest stuff?? I love what you've done to make a red box lid with white dots on it completely your own design! And let me say, it is MUCH MORE FUN and COOL with your own design! Love the stenciling. Love the layers. Thanks for sharing your art and your photos with us at Creative Carte Blanche!
