\nHello Friends,<\/p>\n

This is Arpita,Hope you all are well.Today am very excited to share with you all my first DT Project for Craftangles.<\/p>\n

I am sharing a beautiful Decoupage Creation today and the reason I love this art form as it can transfer your old treasure into something new and pretty. This is an old  small metal trunk which is 40 odd years old and I tranformed into shabby and chick a look that I am in love with these days.<\/p>\n

I have used the Gorgeous Decoupage Paper  FLORAL FRENZY from Craftangles which was part of their new release. Also used their yummy shades of Chalk paints Snow White , Midnight Dreams , Blue Stone and Bubblegum Pink to make this piece.<\/p>\n

\nBrief Tutorial<\/span><\/h4>\n
\n1. I painted the complete outside of the box with Midnight dreams chalk paint.As there was a print on the box, I gave it 2 coats so the image was coats.<\/span><\/div>\n
\n
\n2. I rubbed this surface in random places with a candle<\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n3. For the next layer I painted with Blue Stone and Bubblegum chalk paints randomly covering the complete surface.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n4. Using a sandpaper i sanded the areas where i had rubbed with the wax,with this step the colors below shows giving a beautiful distressed look.<\/div>\n
\n( Following  and Repeating the above steps You can layer as many colours you wish)<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n5. Again I rubbed it with wax and for the final layer of color I applied a coat of  Snow White Chalk paint and using the sanded again showing the all 3 colors applied below.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n6. I fussy cut a few flowers from the Floral Frency decoupage paper pack and stuck them using mod padge.Finally sealed it with  a coat of clear varnish..<\/div>\n
