Lavinia Stamps - Treasure Box

Hello everyone and happy Thursday!! 

It’s time for a new Lavinia World Challenge featuring Lavinia stamps.

          We are a bi-weekly Challenge Blog and the theme will be Anything Goes using stamps

(either rubber or clear, but no digi stamps). 

                               Details are found under the "rules" tab on the Challenge Blog.

 Lavinia World Challenge has a
NEW Facebook group called, Anything Lavinia (click here) 

 another place where you can enter the Lavinia World Challenge.
With one exception...

Your card/project must include anything Lavinia (stamps, papers)

if added to the Anything Lavinia Facebook group. 

For my project, I used
Lavinia Stamps - Finn LAV603
Lavinia Stamps - See a Fairy Make a Wish LAV485

I used VersaFine Clair - Nocturne for the fairy and Morning Mist for the sentiment
Both were embossed with clear embossing powder

A bit about what i did.  As you know if you have been following me, i like to recycle.

This was an Amazon box.  It is like a pizza box, but mini about 5.5".

I covered it in black gesso.  Then i pulled out a piece paper from We Are 3 Digital Paper -  Bird's View. I stamped the sentiment in the center and quickly stamped the fairy.  Then i heat embossed using clear embossing powder.

Next, i used a Tim Holtz stencil called Bubbles.   I used Distress Paper Texture - Crackle, just around the edges.

I quickly put embossing powder on top of it using Tim Holtz - Distress Glaze - Weathered Wood.

I let that dry until i saw cracking and then heat embossed it.

Next i adhered the paper/stamped image to the top of the box with mod podge.

Once that was dry i added Mod Podge to the top of the box.

Next i used some Art Alchemy Wax - Turquoise Satin and Rose Gold to accent the sides and top edges.

I pulled out some corrugated cardboard and cut out a circle and then cut another smaller circle to the side to make a crescent moon.  I wasn't happy with the thickness so i cut more off and ended up using that scrap as a inside shadow.   Both of those pieces were painted with black gesso.

Now, i waxed the "moon shadow" only.  Next i used the same stencil technique on the larger moon and once that was dry i accented with some wax.

I embellished the moon with some flowers and seashells.  I also added some Tim Holtz metal stars and some small gems for sparkle.

This is a "treasure box", but i decided to add a saw-tooth hanger in the back so i could also hang it up.

All i did was poke two holes where the nails would go in the cardboard box and used brads to adhere the hanger.
