Guest Designing for LESSology # 24 -Your'e a Cover Girl! :-)

Hi Friends,
I am so happy to share that i have been invited to do a GD post at LESSology for their current Challenge Are you a Cover Girl!....For this challenge you can get creative with covers by making the cover of  a box, a jar ,a book etc...Totally up to you and use one upcycled item in your project!...So I decided that I would go with the cover of a box..And here's what I come up with :-

                                                                 

And this is how it looks when it is opened :-

                                                                 

  And a few different views :-
                                                                 

                                                               

This is  the box looks before it was upcycled :-
                                                                       

 To upcycle this box I first peeled out the original paper then I Mod Podged it with plain Tissue paper... To do this I took plain white tissue paper and covered the box entirely with it and coated it with Mod Podge...This helped to stick the tissue paper thoroughly and also gave a nice texture..Then I painted the box in a light creme color both  inside and outside and then I measured up the sides,bottom and top and cut out my pattern paper,distressed the edges using Scattered Straw Distress ink and glued it..Then I embellished with various dies ,ribbons and flowers!...

Supplies Used :-
Box -Stash
Papermania Pattern Paper
Dies -Memory Box Tessatina Border,Cheery Lynn Lace Deco Corner(F),Cheery Lynn Fanciful Flourish,Cheery Lynn Tropical Flourish,Cheery Lynn 3 in 1 Exotic Butterflies (Small)
