This a cigar box i made for my FreeSpirit Secret Sister on Facebook. The cigar box I received from my daughter's work. She works at the gift shop at the Indian Casino and she gets them for free!
I made this for my partner - i believe she doesn't follow my blog, so i'm safe to post these pictures. This was a fun process and i really hope she likes it, because she said she likes pink so I had to add pink and then it didn't come out right and tried to fix it but i ruined it. I used baby wipes to try and "fix" what went wrong. Let it dry and added gesso to it and walked away... I had to walk away.
I like how the pink looks like it was a first layer of colors. The products I are listed as follows:
TH cards & corners
Golden Molding paste & beads
Misc lace
MM metals
Misc Embellies
Lindys Stamp Gang Spray (Tiffany Blue & Gold)
WOC (i think it's WOC) flowers
Misc flowers (recolletions and swaps)
Cigar Box
Clocks stencil
Mini bottle caps
Glue products (Aileens' Clear Tacky glue, hot glue, E6000, Mod Podge)
Michael's Mini alpha stamps
Misc metal pieces
Wooden teacup
Flat back pearls
Liquitex Gesso
Paper Studio Metal clocks
My altered tile took a while. I used pink on it -- I had to consciencously use pink b/c I didn't use pink on alot of her items. I sorta forgot about what my sister liked and went with my mojo - after I had completed most of my projects I got REALLY nervous that she won't like it. Especially, after I asked a question on the FB page and posted a pix and she didn't respond to it.. :/ *sigh* I have half the mind to 'start' all over again. I really do -- maybe i'll make another one.. I'm not sure - we'll see though. :)
sidebar: I also have to admit, that i didn't think i had any 'pretty' pink papers until I started to break out my SCAL2 and started to make a teacup from SVG site. I found some papers that I thought she might like and it looks great! :) who knows,,, I may just do that.. We'll see.
Items used:
Tile
TH alteration bird cage die
Prima papers (I think)
Golden molding paste
Misc metal embellies
WOC *i think* flowers (i rec'd this in a swap but it might be Wild Orchid crafts' flowers)
Tattered Angel Mist
LSG Mist
Felt (for back)
