Hi and welcome to a new challenge at Fashionable Stamping, and this time we would love to see your 'alterations', but don't forget, as we are a stamping challenge we still need to see some stamping. We are again sponsored by Flonzcraft who are offering a random winner a $20 gift cert. to spend in their online store.
A few weeks ago you might remember I made a book cover following this tutorial, and I have been wanting to try the technique again, decided on a refresher but for some reason the video wouldn't play after about 30 mins. so I improvised! - I missed out the black layer, and did a bit more spraying!! Still love the results.
I almost forgot to take a picture of 'before'!
I wanted roughly the same colours as before, but this time I also used Perfect Pearls Forever Violet mist, and instead of finishing with a dry brushed layer of white to highlight, I used Adirondack Gold paint, and then Aquamarine Treasure Gold over the top.
For the inside, as we are a stamping challenge I made my own papers to line the box. I used Distress inks, Tumbled Glass, Dusty Concord, Iced Spruce and Wild Honey, and then spritzed with water, love this effect. The stamps are Tim Holtz, and Inkylicious branches that my butterfly is escaping from, I also used Crafters Workshop masks with Embossing paste for the script and the butterflies on the side panels.
My very talented teamies have some wonderful alterations to show you, so please pop over here for some wonderful inspiration.

Thank you for all your lovely comments lately, I really do appreciate them, especially as I haven't had much time to return them this week - I have made the Wedding Cake - 4 tiers, plus 1 extra just in case there isn't enough! DD has finally made her mind up on the Invitations, so a start has been made there too.
Have a great Sunday whatever you're doing.

oh goodness, Avril, this is stunning. I love it. All that texture and the beautiful colours.
Sounds like you are being kept busy. You must share the wedding cake with us after the big day. It's a few years since I made one but the satisfaction when it's finished is huge isn't it!
Hope you are having a good weekend.

Wow! What a fab box you've created. I really must try to do some of this "altering" lark. Enforce too much longer.

Funny thing is that I was working on the same technique, which I have done twice before and "Epic Fail." Not sure what on this earth I did wrong many times, but gave up! Now on to the reason for my visit, your altered box is out of this world stunning! Love all the details and perfect inking. BTW, when I first watched this video a few months back, I never saw the black layer! Love this and Enjoy the day! Hugs!
