butterfly box step by step / WOYWW #112

I've been away for a while but now I am back. And what better way to come back than to join in with Julia's WOYWW

(what's on your workdesk wednesday )

I have a project that I have been working on sporadically since January

and

It's finally  ( almost)   finish !

I started working on this  while on vacation

and while cleaning my craft room yesterday I found, it and decided it was time to finish it.

So instead of clearing out old magazines and folding new fabric...

I picked up my little box and started to play.

Who needs clearing and folding anyway?

So to recap

In January I found a cute box

added a layer of glue and paint

more paint around the edges

I used paper and paint tio line the inside

Found a beautiful piece of paper to cover the front

I chose to use the butterfly portion

covered with a few layers of paint and ink

I used ink and colored pencil to "age" the edges

more pencil to add definition and shadow

now on to embellishment.

well.....I said I was ALMOST finished

I need to finish this by mid August because I have special plans for it.

shhhhh....it's a secret

Thanks for stopping by.
