Floral Fantasy Box


Good Morning,

Hope you're all enjoying the good weather we've being having recently. 

Today I'm sharing a project I made some time ago using the Fantasy Floral stamps. The Buddleia is a gorgeous flower that attracts butterflies and this is why it's commonly known as the Butterfly Bush. 




Materials

MDF box
Indigoblu Stamps - Floral Fantasy, Rugged Edge
Stazon Black & Vibrant Violet
IndigoBlu acrylic paint - Lime Marmalade, Coastal Walk, Wimberry Pie, Aladdin 
IndigoBlu Stencils - Laurel Leaves & Texture
IndigoBlu White Gesso
IndigoBlu fine paste
IndigoBlu Slap-it-on Gloss
IndigoBlu Diamond glaze
IndigoBlu stamping card
Seed beads

 

Divide an A4 card into 4 sections to create the background for the sides of the box and paint with the
Lime Marmalade, Coastal Walk and Wimberry Pie. 


Apply white Gesso with a palette knife to create texture and lines and add Lime Marmalade through the Texture stencil. 


Stamp the butterflies and the lilac flower in Violet and Black. Create circles using the top of a water mister bottle dipped in white Gesso. Cut each section into 92mmx36mm for the box side and 92mmx19mm for the lid side.



Create another background (94mmx94mm) for the lid of the box using the same colours as before and stamp the lilac flower in Black. Stamp an additional flower using Wimberry Pie, cut out and decoupage the main image. Apply fine paste through the leaves and circle Texture stencil. 



Use Slap It On to adhere beads randomly to the lilac flower. Stamp a border to the lid background with the Rugged Edge Stamp. Stamp two small butterflies one in Violet and the other Black and paint with Wimberry Pie and Aladdin. Cut out and adhere to the box lid.



Using Slap It On adhere all the backgrounds to the sides of the box and lid. Randomly apply Korma Crackle. Once its dry paint the inside of the box with Aladdin and stamp a butterfly using white Gesso to the inside of the base and lid. Finally apply Diamond Glaze to the top of the box to encase the beads and give it a gloss finish.
