Altered Pizza Box @ STAMPlorations

{My DT work for STAMPlorations}

Hello friends! Happy Sunday and hope today is bright and happy.

I'm back again with an altered project designed for STAMPlorations Sunday Stencil.

I used pizza box to decorate a mixed media element using products from STAMPlorations.

I usually used bold and vintage colors in my projects and this time I decided to use subtle colors for a change.

I have a lot of close-up pictures to share with you. Please enjoy...

 Yes you guessed right. I used tissue serviette of roses to adhere on the box surface with clear gesso for extra element and texture.

 I used butterfly and sentiment stamps from trendy butterflies #2 stamp set that is available at the store.

 I lightly gesso'd the roses and after it is dried, I highlighted the roses with brown watercolor pencil.  

Forest of leaves design seems perfect to decorate the corners so I applied modeling paste through the stencil for random leaves pattern. 

One of my favorite STAMPlorations stencils is crisscrossed. Its diamond shape is so attractive and to achieve this design, I simply dab brown ink pad over the stencil to form diamond patterns.

 Overall the subtle colors gives me much satisfaction when I finished the project.

More behind the scene shots:

 I used Rangers ink to highlight the edges.

 The inside is simply covered with patterned papers after I painted the box with white paint.

 I used brown card stock to cover up the back part.

 And here's the box once again:

I hope you get some inspirations to upcycle and altered whatever you find interesting and usable in your house.

Last but not least, I wish to play along in these challenges:

Until then. Thank you for dropping by and see you soon.

Hugs and smiles,
