Moon Box
before:
Scribbles June challenge is Flip-a-Coin!
What fun! Check it out here: scribblesdesignschallenge
There are five flips. My flip was: CAS, shaped, gemstones, ribbon/twine, recycled/upcycled. EEeeeekk!
This would be great for a man to keep his jewellery in. Or a woman.
What a great challenge.
Round dies: Spellbinders
Copics, black acrylic paint, metallic flakes, gems, twine
I painted the box black, when dry, I sanded randomly to get an aged look. The image lent itself to adding gold leaf flakes which I did to small areas as I did not want to overwhelm the image (and remember, I had to keep it CAS), coloured the eyes and lips, then added the gemstones. I was going to keep it toned down and then thought " hey, they are gems, go to town"! I think it's still CAS?
(Lots of white area, minimal layers etc)
And get this amazing Scribbles image, here: #A 70 Moon Star
