Beautiful Smile WW1 layout 

and Decorated box 

by Sue Smyth 

This month I am sharing a cute little

 box I made for my desk and my White with one layout.

I found this sugary glittered B at a junk shop and bought it to work with one day. 

All of my children's names start with the letter B so I thought 

I had a good chance of it being useful. lol 

I have started with a chip filing box from office works, which

was black.

I have applied egg shell to the top, added lots of alcohol inks and

a coat or two of dimensional magic. 

Once dry I have added braid, Imaginarium chipboard and rhinestones strips

Spray with Dylusions ink and when dry rub over with gold paint.

For some detail I have added gold embossed corners 

and pearls.

White with one (Pomegranate)

This months challenge was the colour pomegranate which is one of 

my favourite colours, so I had no trouble whipping up a 

layout.

I have started with a plain sheet of Vanilla cardstock 

and covered areas with gesso and a stencil to 

add pattern.

Then sprayed with a combination of Pomegranate and Postbox Red 

Dylusions. Add a few flicks of black and white too.

I really wanted a heart with wings, but did not have one so 

substituted with the bracket frame and a resin heart. I liked 

the result.

The Moroccan screen behind the photo is simply embossed with gold

embossing powder.

I love the chipboard child on the side. I did not have the shape

I wanted left in the set, so used it as a mask and sprayed instead.

Then layered over the chip shape I did have which is painted

with gesso then sprayed with dylusions and had a final 

rub of fuchsia pearlex.

My hot tip with White with one layout is..

don't be afraid to use the "sister" colours  of the challenge

colour , in other words the neighboring colour on the colour wheel.
