Steps of Making:

Step.1: Taking the MDF Wood Box, scrub a little all sides using sand paper to remove dirt or dust and further apply Gesso to create a base for further paints to get perfect finish. Let it dry for sometime.

Step.2: After the base layer of gesso is dried, begin with next step to paint the box, top lid from Wasabi Green and bottom from Lemon Chiffon Chalk Paints. Apply 2 coats for better finish and colour.

Step.3: Now when everything is again dried completely hop onto next step of creating the lace texture on top by using Grainy Texture paste and Lace Stencil to cover the top of it and let it dry again.

Step.4: Now taking another shade of chalk paint pink ballet, just dab the colour on the popped up texture to cover the white also further dab with Ink oxide "Vintage Photo" to give a vintage look.

Step.5: Add some gold and glitter to top to complete the look.

Step.6: Now time to cover the bottom part... we have used a decoupage paper with vintage themed birds and flowers and applied on all four sides of the box using decoupage glue.

Step.7: Take a Gold Sheet and Lace Corner Die to take all the four corners and paste on each corners.

Step.8: Take Vellum Sheet, stamp the sentiments using Versamark Ink...pour some Black embossing powder and heat dry to finish.

Step.9: Dont forget to paint inside the box as well...I have painted it in Pink Ballet colour.

Step.10: Final step, cover all the edges of the box with Vintage Photo Ink Oxide to give vintage look.
