Mixed Media Monday - vintage-inspired decorated box

 

So I've been getting back to playing with mixed media again! Here's this week's Mixed Media Monday project - a vintage-inspired decorated box. :)

I started off with this Fresh box (somebody bought skincare recently...*winks*). They've changed the design. Previously it had a separate lid. Now the lid is attached to the back of the box...which makes it a little tricky to decorate the sides. So I focused the design on the top lid.

I started by adhering the patterned paper to the lid of the box with gel medium. Then I went over the patterned paper with clear gesso. 

Then I adhered all the dimensional elements before spraying with a gold mist.

It was so much fun creating dimensional collages. :)

Using the forgotten treasures in my stash. :)

Happy week ahead friends! :)
