Mixed Media - Cigar Box

Hello everyone!!! Today I am sharing with you an altered cigar box that I made for a ReneaBouquet swap challenge at Scrapbook.com. A lot of the swappers made beautiful boxes using patterned paper and goodies. I really wanted to stick with mixed media supplies only, and of course ReneaBouquet products.

My swap buddy said to "surprise her"... so I hope she loves it!!

I decided to use the following color scheme for her box:




I applied white gesso to the entire box, then went about "distressing" it with stencil, Lindy
sprays and embossing powders (all listed below).


The moulds I gessoed with black and then applied hazelnut paint, followed by waxes. The touch
of teal to the fillers really keep your eye on the center of the box. I chose to keep
the beautiful boards by Renea "naked" as it was already the perfect color to go with the scheme.


 Thanks for stopping by today!!!
