Crafty Individuals Challenge ~ Wedding Casket

The theme for the July Crafty Individuals Challenge is pink, cream & brown. Mmmm what a lovely combo, lush and vintage. I actually did two, but decided to enter the Wedding Casket.

I altered a wooden jewellery box, which I painted using pink and brown matt emulsion and crackled. I then used CI - 161 and stamped the script randomly over the box with coffee archival ink. I sprayed the box with crafters companion varnish. I used cream cotton which I painted with gesso and stamped CI - 139 and coloured with distress inks. I then coated with matt mod podge to protect the stamped image, finally outlining with a gold leafing pen.

I dyed some white lace with hubby's tea bags. LOL! Then attached the lace and added pearls. I made a ribbon rose following one of the many youtube tutorials and added another lacy embellishment. Finally screwing on a Tim Holtz curio knob and feet to complete the casket.

I am also entering this into Our Vintage Affair July Challenge  ~ Wedding

The notebook is covered in some Claudine Hellmuth sticky canvas on which I printed a digital design. I added  tea dyed lace pearls and cream roses. I die cut some Tim Holtz vintage shabby paper with the baroque die then stamped with a Katzelcraft stamp. I used pro markers to colour  CI - 322 then cut, outlining with gold leafing pen and coated in glossy accents. Another ribbon rose and some danglies from my stash.
