The fabulous Graphic 45 (Kaleidoscope) Bundle from FotoBella.com has all of my faves, from the peacocks to the elephants, along with my favorite colors (teals, greens, blues and purples)! The gorgeous Papers and Chipboard were perfect to create this square box, measuring 9" X 5"!
I couldn't decide between the blue or purple paper along the bottom, so I used both on each side with the (Kaleidoscope) Patterns & Solids.
All of the gold was done with Prima Marketing Metallique Wax (Vintage Gold) added to Black Gesso, including the Finnabair doily stencil on the lid. Originally I added the stencil to the purple paper, but decided to add another layer to the green for some more contrast.
The hinges were made from a cereal box using the Chipboard (red fabulous tag) as a stencil to create the shape, and the Prima Marketing (French Riviera Anchor and Shell) Stencil to make the rope designs on the sides. The iridescent rhinestones reflect the beautiful colors, and have been in my stash for a long time now.
To the front side of the lid, I added the colorful Chipboard piece, embossed twice with Lindy's Gang (Clearly Clear) Embossing Powder, also used on the oval piece on top to make it look like glass.
Thanks for your visit and pick up the Graphic 45 (Kaleidoscope) I Want It All Bundle at FotoBella.com!
