Gift Box by Suzanne Franin

Hey Everyone Suzanne here

This project for Embellish With Flair I had this box that I thought I would make into a nice gift box for a bracelet or watch, I have a few birthdays coming up so I'm sure it will come in handy

I then used Colour Blast Boho Mandala Stencil with 3D Matte Gel

 I painted the box with black gesso first to make sure any other layers would adhere to the box and then painted it with a different colour gold which I didn't like

 So then I painted it with one of Finnabair's Opal Magic Art Alchemy Paints - Yellow Pink which as you can see parts show up pink and yellow on the box 

 But on the paper clay embellishments that were painted with the black gesso only, they came out mainly pink

I love how these paints work

 This set of Flairs are one of my favourites they are just so pretty and can be used on almost anything and I thought it was perfect for a gift of any sort really - I could keep it for Mothers Day even

 I glued the paper clay bow to the twine so it can be taken off without having to ruin the box

 And as always there has to be a flower x

Mini Art Journal by Suzanne Franin

Hey Everyone Suzanne here

This time for Embellish With Flair I created a Mini Art Journal great to just throw in your back with some pens or a small watercolour palette and water pens if your travelling and don't have a lot of space or time to do get much done during the day but want to wind down at night with something 

With the background, I used a mini Wire stencil from Memory Maze with some 3D gel medium 

I then used some Mushy Peas Dylusions Paint but that was a bit light, so I then used Bottle Green and Azure Impasto from Finnabair for a mix

 I added some Vanilla Custard Dylusions Paint for the paper clay scroll and then glued the butterfly flair on top of that 

I also glued some other paper clay pieces that were broken bits from other things I'd made for a pop of white then glued the bead strand on top of them 

I painted the paper clay keyhole with Jade Impasto by Finnabair and added a key

Then added some word stickers to the cover

And that's it, it's ready to go travelling with
