Graphic 45 Decorated Box

Over at the Creative Cutter Room, they are having a challenge to use Graphic 45 paper right now.  I just recently found a few of these at the local craft store and have been wanting to use them, so this was the perfect opportunity.  You can check the CCR out here: http://www.creativecutter.org/.

I decided to alter a small box to use for sewing needles and thread. 

I started out with a wooden box from Hobby Lobby, I sheet of Graphic 45 Steampunk Debutante sheet of 12x12 paper, Folkart Acrylic Buttercream paint (used as a base coat), Pure Bronze Craft Paint (used as a top coat) and a Crackle Medium (I actually used this as a varnish for the top and not for crackle).

After the box was completely dry, I cut strips out of the paper to fit on the top, sides, front and back of the box from the sheet of paper.  I tried to cut the images that had dress forms and seemed to go with the sewing them.  I then used mod podge to attach these to the box and to coat them also.

Here are some more views of the box.
