Decorated Pencil Box

I began by taking apart the box, this one has 2 small hinges at the back which were easily removed. I then painted the bottom section of the box using 4 shades of green.
On the inside I added some off white paint and a crackle glaze to distress it.
i did the same for the lid, but this time using 4 shades of blue. Next i took some regular cheap white tissue paper and stamped designs onto it using black archival ink. I stamped birds on one piece and text on another piece. These were trimmed and glued inside the box.
i used a rubber stamp of a fence and stamped this all around the box using black archival ink.
The fence was painted with 3 browns and a dark yellow, using the different ones to add interest and depth to the fence.
I painted more tissue paper with blues and greens and yellows. Once this was dry I stamped leaves and flowers over the paint.
These were all cut out and carefully collaged onto the lid of the box. Once the whole thing was dry I added a layer of satin glaze.
