For the Altenew Educator Certification Program Level 2, there were two parts. Part two asks participants to create an altered item or upcycled project. I found this very plain box that I had kept (because who can throw away a good box?? Am I right?) and decided to decorate it.
I was inspired by the classes "Beautiful details", "Color your day" and "Masking unleashed".
First, I measured the box and cut a panel of white cardstock to wrap around the lid. I stenciled and ink blended over the panel with three different blue inks, and scored the panel so it would fit around the lid neatly.
I adhered the panel to the box and then decided to add some details with a fine tip black marker. (Yes, I was THAT stupid that I didn't add these details until AFTER I'd adhered it to the box.)
I die cut a bunch of leaves from blue cardstocks and from vellum. I adhered each cardstock leaf to a vellum leaf, and arranged them on top of the box, before adhering them with liquid glue.
I finished the box with a sentiment from Label Love and some dew drop embellishments.
Thanks for visiting :)
