Altered Recipe Box

This is my project for August challenge over at Rhedd's Creative Spirit.  I altered a wooden recipe box this month. 

This is what I started with. 

I sanded the box and then coated it with a layer of gesso. I used a brick stencil, lace on the edge of the lid and around the bottom of the box. I coloured the box with a few different colours of acrylic paint and sprays.  I also used a script rubber stamp  to add more interest to the background.  

Our sponsor this month is

I used the following findings:

Large flower - metal napkin ring

Metal butterfly

Ceramic roses on top - shower hook decoration

Dollar Store Gems

Feet - wooden circles

Leaves - old necklace

Here are some closer looks at the project
