Let's get started with DAY FIVE and a Halloween Altered Box from Petaloo DT member Lynne Forsythe ...
I totally fell in love with Graphic45's "An Eerie Tale" the moment I saw it!
and HOW PERFECTLY Petaloo flowers work with the paper collection.
Here is how my project got started...My mom was cleaning out her barn and I scooped up
a cigar box she was going to toss.
Since I LOVE to alter everything...I figured why not start by creating my own paper?!
Oh the fun I had!
I tore up various sheets from
the 8x8 An Eerie Tale paper pad and
adhered to a 12x12 piece of Kraft paper
with Multi Medium.
A close up of my "new" paper.
When dry, I applied various colors and
textures through various TCW stencils.
Here is a close up of the "new" finished paper.
I painted the edges of my
cigar box with High Impact Paint.
I then measured and cut pieces from
my "new made paper" to fit my box.
HINT: CUT ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE PAPER.
I applied the papers to box with Multi Medium.
Then I let the creating begin with a pile of
Beautiful PETALOO BLOOMS!
I began with a flower cluster on the top of the box
of Textured Burlap flowers, Botanica beauties,
and nestled in Berry Clusters and
colored Darjeeling foliage.
I continued the flower cluster down the side of the box.
I finished off the box with a Tattered Quote.
I hope you have enjoyed my decorated cigar box!

Oh my goodness Lynne! I LOVE this! Every little piece of it from the "designer paper" to the fact that you used a cigar box (one of my favorites) to the beautiful embellishments! It is totally gorgeous!

That's pretty cool, I would have never thought about doing anything like that. Love these hops because we get to see and learn new ways of doing things. Thank you for sharing this. :)

Love your box! I do have to ask though, how do get the courage to tear up such gorgeous paper? I could only do it if the paper was already just a scrap!
