Over on the paper artsy blog this week we welcomed our friend and fellow #patwit Julie Anne Lee. I love her oldy worldy vintage kind of crafting and she didn't let us down with her first project 'a casket'. Pop over here and have a looksie...it's gorgeous.
I had a little box I had got from Leandra at Ally Pally in september to put some embellishments in...but it was too small (or I have too many embellishments!! I more or less followed along with what Julie Ann did so won't go into a step by step..
So here we are.......first up the lid....I used a mixture of blush,haystack,egg plant and claret frescos. I added florentine and brass treasure gold to the finished piece.
This is the inside of the lid...
The bottom of the box....
And all of it together......
We had some good inspiration this week from Julis Ann so thank you!
Thanks for stopping by..............................................

ReplyDeleteOh, wow Lin, I love this!!! Your box is just amazing, inside and out - and the tags look great as well.
ReplyDeleteFab box, the interior is as beautiful as the exterior and your feather is great too
ReplyDeleteLin, it is beautiful inside & outside. I love the TG over the purple & the tag book looks gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI love this Lin! The colours are delicious, especially the dramatic way you used purple. Thank you for liking my old world style! The feeling is mutual! Actually this box reminds me of a boutique I used to go to when I was a very young teenager. It was called Biba. They used lots of chocolate browns and purples and in those days nobody knew the word 'vintage' but I guess that's what we would call it now. This project reminds me of how I loved that place! Thanks for playing along Lin! xxx
ReplyDeleteBlimey I had alost forgotton about Biba!! spent many hours drooling over their stuff!!
Deletegosh you have been hard at work Lin. I know what Julie Ann means about Biba (brings back memories!) absolutely gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThis is rich, beautiful and gorgeous Lin. Congratulations. X
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Lin, i especially like the inside of the lid and those tags. I think I need that LP stamp.
ReplyDeleteAmazing amount of work, lovely colours and texture!
ReplyDeleteGreat box, love the tags for the inside
ReplyDeleteObs way too young for Biba - have absolutely no idea what you're on about!!

ReplyDeleteHow the heck did I miss commenting on this beauty last week?!? Lin it's gorgeous! Love the embossing on the top and the colours are fabulous. Beautiful flower and birdie embellishments inside and woud love a closer look at your tags. They look fab. Oh yes, nearly forgot the little frame on the top, that is so pretty!
