MDF Boxes

Hello everyone.

Sharing two MDF boxes From Lisa Horton Crafts. They are great for storing A6 stamps.This is something different for me and gave me chance to use some of my pastes which I have in my stash. I thought to share some photos how I made the boxes.

MDF boxes from Lisa Horton Crafts, Gold and Pink Mica powders, Crackle, Cogs and Playing cards stencils,

Texture paste white sand used for black box

Viva decor 3D paste used for blue box

Gansai Tambi paints

Gold wax from Imagination crafts.

For the black box I put the box together and painted with black gesso paint.

I mixed the paste with a bit of gold mica powder and added to the sides of the box with Crackle stencil and let it to dry. Is better to leave to dry over night. Then I added some cog stencil to the corner with the same paste. I kept the paste mixed with mica in a little plastic bag. Also I added some grey board cogs and added some gold wax to them before gluing to some corners of the box with glue gun. Added a bit of gold wax to the corners.

So here is the black box.

For the blue box.

Put the box together and paint with white gesso. I used the Playing cards stencil, applied the paste to the diamonds around the box and let it to dry. 

Then I used blue colour paint and added around diamonds and sprayed some water to the paint.

I used some kitchen roll papers to take the excess of water as you can see on the photo. Then I added pinkish red paint to the diamonds with water and used kitchen papers to take some water away by dabbing. As you can see the photo below. When it's all dried I added pink mica powder to little spray bottle with some water and sprayed on top of diamonds for little shimmer. Really enjoyed making these boxes especially using the paints.
