Prima Marketing Havana Collection Gift Box

Welcome back and Nancy, here, to share another altered gift box made with the gorgeous Prima Marketing Havana paper, Havana chipboard and Prima Marketing Havana Rose Words and Stickers.  Below, I also embellished the inside of the box with the same Havana collection to make fun statements to personalize my grand daughter's gift box.  I used the gorgeous Prima Marketing Memory Hardware Fleur Coeur frame and painted it with  Prima Marketing - Art Alchemy-Acrylic Paint - Metallique Vintage Rose.  Also, I applied the Vintage Rose paint to the Prima Marketing Vintage Art Decor Louise Mould made with the Stamperia Soft Paper clay and same paint to the chipboard. 

  I tried using the Prima Marketing paper clay but it was so hard for this mould and came out in pieces.  Make sure to always coat your mould using baby powder or corn starch with a brush or sprinkle it on and tap away the excess before putting the clay into the mould for these detail moulds.  Otherwise, the decor comes out in pieces.  If it comes out in two pieces but still in great detail, I use Beacon 3 in 1 Advance glue or a hot glue gun to stick the pieces together before gluing on the project.  

I used a pink ink to color the rosette chiffon lace trim and use a hot glue gun to insert the 5mm flat back pearls and 10mm Wild Orchid pink roses in the center of each rose. I wet the rosette lace and then applied the pink ink.  I used the embossing gun to dry before taping the lace with Scor Tape across the box.     I used 1" Scor Tape to across the box and then taped the gorgeous Venice white lace which is very similar to Venice ivory lace in the store.

I used the photos of my granddaughter for the inside of the box with the Prima Marketing Havana paper, stickers and chipboard.  Fun Fun Fun!

I made my shabby chic flower with the Prima Marketing Havana paper.  I cut out two sizes of the flower petals.  I used 1/2" x 1/2" double sided Scor-Tape to the center of the flower and then stuck pink lace in the center and glue the other patterned paper flower for the next layer of the flower. Then  I used a hot glue gun to adhere the 10mm pink Wild Orchid Craft flower in the center.  The two other flowers on this box were made with foamiran and colored with NUVO Mousse Aquamarine and NUVO Mousse Peony Pink.  I used my fingers to sponge the colors on the flowers for a very soft pastel.  These two colors coordinate well with the paper.
