I had a little help along the way, she painted the base coat and helped me embellish as well.
After the green paint dried, I coated the box with some crackle paint and once it dried I dry brushed pearl paint into the cracks so they showed up better.
Then I used a piece of teal glittered card stock and ran it through with this gorgeous embossing folder (also available in the shop) then trimmed around it.
I pulled out one of my Prima dolls and dressed her up. I used the lace to trim her dress and give her a shawl.
Isn't she pretty? I also cut one of the flowers from the paper I used for her dress to put in her hair.
I used the green sparkle embossing powder to decorate the spine and music inspired paper for the pages and interior.
This was a lot of fun. I have a hard time with these type of projects but I am really pleased with how this turned out. I was going to give it as a gift but now I'm not sure if I can part with it!
Thanks so much for stopping by, I hope you will check out the Crafty Kit Club.
