Ribbon Box Prize

Don't know if you will remember, but back before christmas, Graeme, Hilda's son, picked out my ribbon box as a winner. This is one of the prizes I received. It was originally pine wood, but was just crying out to be altered, so here it is. Firstly I gave it a thin coat of gesso, then I cover the outside 'walls' with peeled paint, crackle paint, then used a piece of cut n dry to add walnut stain distressed inks to it. I also used the walnut stain ink to colour the insides of the wood and the rods that the ribbon spools sit on. I added some images to the inside of bottle tops and used them to embellish. The photos don't do it justice, it looks good, I like it
