Autumn is upon us, friends! When I received this lovely box from a friend, I immediately knew it needed a floral makeover. The newly released Autumn Morning Dixie Belle transfer looks absolutely stunning against the pretty green paint, don’t you think?
The elephant designed box was such a great size, thanks Anita.
The hardware was removed making it much easier and more professional looking to paint without them in the way.
English Ivy Dixie Belle Paint was brushed on first and it was then I decided to not do a blend but rather an aged look with this dark green and the fall florals.
The back was painted prior to removing hardware but you can see once the one hinge was removed how much easier it is now to paint.
The autumn florals were cut out and decided where they would go. Once decided the backing was removed and the transfer pressed in place and the top plastic removed while rubbing with the included stick.
5 sides had transfers applied.
The hardware was then put back in place.
This is the progress so far, very pretty.
Then brown wax was brushed and blended around the flower edges wth an Artist Brush to give and aged appearance.
And to add just a bit of shimmer bronze Gilding Wax was added to the edges using my finger tip.
This was all I used to create this pretty update.
