Altered Box & Mini Album



This is an altered box and a mini album I created.  The box is by Petaloo and as you can see it's very bright.  I painted the box with black paint...needed a couple of layers to completely cover the bright pink.


After painting the box, I used Shimmerz mist to give it a distress look.  Then added some trim around the box and adhered a picture frame I altered on top. To keep the box closed, I fastened a black rubber band and a hitch post.  The paper roses were glimmer misted and added some glossy accent to look like dew drops.  I love how flowers look when they're wet.  And finally, I glued wooden knobs to the bottom of the box.
And here's the finished box:
