Altered Gift Box

Hello Everyone 

Today I have an altered project to share with you all. I have to make something for my two close friends, a lovely couple; for their first wedding anniversary!! I want to give it both masculine as well as feminine look so I decided to do something dark & bright together. I want to add a small card, a photo frame, & then something 3 dimensional, so to incorporate all the elements I decided to go with a box & came up with this Altered Box Project!! It was an Ariel Matic (detergent powder) box!! 

So have a look..

I started with the photo frame first & selected some thick card stock then did some sponging with black ink in some areas.

This vintage look lamp post is made up of paper! Yes it is totally handmade!! Also that small bench is made up of thick brown sheets. For the floor I used corrugated paper. Added some bright small flowers & butterfly around the sentiment.

For one side of the box I used paper dolly as a base & stuck some few painted dry leaves. Fence is made up of ice cream sticks.

This side is kept simple with a stamp design at the corner & a small message.

Here is the back side of the box. A plastic wire mesh is used to make the top border, my handmade birdie & a small stamp sticker (that black & white one).

For the top I made this small easel card & added some handmade flowers.
