Hey, Helmar peeps!
Jessica here and I'm excited to be posting for this FABULOUS week of inspiration while we feature AUTHENTIQUE paper, one of our wonderful preferred partners!
I LOVE Authentique paper and am so happy I got the chance to work with some absolutely GORGEOUS patterns from the "Gathering" collection. Did I say GORGEOUS? Seriously, you must check them out along with their other stunning collections!
I found this Recipe box today for 50% off and told a friend of mine I was with you know, I really should get/make a new one- my old one was getting kind of rickety.
As soon as I saw all of this pretty, pretty paper I knew which patterns I wanted to use so I measured the box and cut paper strips accordigly. I distressed all sides with a little Tim Holtz Distress Ink in "Broken China"- it is the prettiest shade of blue and goes totally perfect with the Authentique paper!
I used Acid Free glue to glue down all paper panels and even with the super-thick, great quality paper it adhered beautifully!
Once the box was covered with all that pretty Authentique paper, it was time to embellish! I got these awesome corners and beautiful die-cut sentiment from the Gathering collection as well! I decorated the lid and then it was time for one more little 'frill' ;)
I used Helmar 450 Quick Dry to glue a border all the way around the box and finished it off with some tattered rose trim I had on hand. Isn't it super pretty? Gives it more of a vintage look, too, I think.
Here's the finished product:
