So last month, I went on a "must-complete-half-done-projects" mission. This was one of them.:)
I started with this sturdy mooncake box.
I covered it with wrapping tissue from packaging for texture.
Next I adhered chipboard.
After a coat of gesso, I applied gold acrylic paint. To create a little more depth, I applied Silks acrylic glaze in bronze. I also used Ranger crackle effect accents to define to chipboard design.
The last step was to embellish! Oh yes, I might have gone a little overboard with the buttons! *lol*
P/s: Another box for my mum to store her sewing supplies!:)

Perfectly done. So cute idea. Thank you for sharing!
So pretty! Every time we get an especially nice box around here, I ask myself what Yvonne would make with it! Then it goes in a pile in my craft room to be forgotten. ;)
totally creative.. this came out just perfect.
it is just gorgeous yvonne
Wow! SO gorgeous, Yvonne! Loving all the rich gold on here, and love your cluster of embellies! I think the chipboard lattice adds such amazing texture, and I love the crackle paint in the center of each cut out. The old clock face really jumps out at me, too. And I totally adore that you went "overboard" with the buttoms! :D
Stunning! Loving the embellishments and adore the little cotton reel. TFS
