Birthday Jewellery box with a difference

For the one you Love on her birthday!

A beautiful jewellery box to give to her!

I used a plain wooden box that originally had a glass top but was broken in transit so i gave it a vellum top  Do Crafts glitter Arlington Vellum

I then edged the top edge and lid with cream lace and then a layer of velvet ribbon

and last but not least a layer of pearls all around the outside of the box.

I lined the inside of the box and outside with My Minds Eye Howdy Doody "baby" Lacey Paper

I added Tim Holtz Ideology box feet

and trimmed the top with ribbon throughout the sections

I used First Edition Day dreams papers for layering

and added a cream lace doilie and gardenia to the top left of the magnolia image which was coloured in using Copics and the roses are edged with clear glitter pen. And last but not least for the image i added star rhinestones.

Copic colours used:

Skin E00 E11 E21 and R01

Hair E29 E27 E25 E21

Clothing R22 R21 R20 R00 R02

Grass/leaves G85 YG67 YG63

Arbour E87 E84 E81

Flowers Y26 Y23 Y21

Background B000 B60 B32 B63

The gardenia was dipped in flitter glu and i used silver gilding flakes to give it a silver edge to the petals.

I hope you like my jewellery box and look forward to you visiting my blog again.

Inspired by a Song

Well we have another lovely challenge for you this week at Creative Creations Challenges

Inspired by a Song

My song that i have chosen is one that my six year old son is totally nuts about at the moment.

It's Michael Jackson's - Thriller

So it is definitely a Zombie vibe!

So thanks to Sassy Studio Designs for the lovely image Mummy Honey

I made a note book and covered it front and back with Croco paint in bronze and just to protect it a bit more i then coated it in matt Mod Podge

i then added two bronze coloured corners

A vintage paper 

A frame distressed with Wild Honey and Tea dye distress Ink

Added four bronze and dimante flowers to the corner of the frame 

And finally finished off with a gold ribbon!

I coloure the image in copics

Magnolia candles

Magnolia Candles

I had great fun making these but alas i have lost the colour combinations used.

Word of advice?  Colours come out a lot lighter when using tissue paper and always colour in with a sheet of white behind the image paper.

Always use greaseproof paper to wrap and hold the tissue paper image against the candle and partially to protect your hands.

You will know when the image is ready as the candle wax swallows the image so be careful it happenns really quickly.

Let it dry

and then embellish!

I have use ribbon on the base of both of these candle and then embellished accordingly...

the flamenco dancer a added a fan to and blowing wishes i used star rhinestones.

Hope you like these are really easy to do once you know how...

Bye for now
