This challenge is sponsored by the generous folks at the Inspiration Emporium. They will be providing a $50.00 shopping spree for one lucky randomly chose winner!
Now for the challenge..head on over to page 47 of Tim's book, study the technique and enter to win!
Here is my project:
I decided to create a box to hold some of my stash as I seem to have so much of it - it's addicting! I started with a paper mache box that I painted with Seedless Preserves Distress Paints. I only added the paint to the edges of the sides and top of the box.
I painted the box inside as well as the lid inside and outside edges.
Next I applied the technique to five card stock pieces, one for the lid and 4 for the box sides. I can't tell you how it was done, however, I can tell you I used Tim's Wildflower, Flourish, Traveler and Bubble Layering Stencils. I also used Seedless Preserves Paint and Squeezed Lemonade, Dried Marigold, Seedless Preserves and Peacock Feather Distress inks.
I then adhered all of the panels to the box and finished the box by adding one of Tim's Idea-ology Curio Knobs to the box lid. Finally, I added some butterflies from B Line Designs to all the panels. Here again is the finished project:
Now that you have seen my project, head on over to Linda Ledbetter's site here. You will find all the rules for participating - hope to see your projects there!
