Julia Spiri Challenge - ANYTHING GOES with optional Twist & Birthday announcement

Good morning and Happy Birthday to US!

Yes it is our Birthday at Julia Spiri Challenge and it is time for a New Challenge

As always our challenges are ANYTHING GOES

and the DT follow a option BOXES which we would love you to follow but this is not a must.

Now we would love you to join us using one of Julia's images and if you are a fan on Facebook you just might find a freebie or 2. However we are happy for you to play along with any make of image.

We are also running a challenge this month on Facebook with Julia's images

So now I have told you what our challenge is let me share with you my Box.

I have used one of the Hat Collection called Steam Punk which was my very 1st image I bought and is available from the shop HERE
This is a view of the top of the box

This is a view from the side showing the black lace running around it

I have coloured my image with a mix of promarkers and Lyra rembrandt pencils.

I then went over the image with a clear embossing pad and added clear embossing powder and heated. repeated this process to give a gloss and protection.

 The hearts are tattered lace and Xcut with the same treatment but with a gold embossing powder.

The image is mounted on a Marriane die and a Spellbinders die. The gold lattise die is also a Spellbinders die. 

The box has been made with Centura pearl card. and Gold mirri card

 Embellished with Black lace Silver metal butterfly, Chain and a large Pearl

well thats my little box and hope you like.

Now we would love you to play along with us as this is our 1st Blog Birthday and remember you dont have to make a box.

However if you need some inspiration pop along to the challenge blog and checkout the teams amazing samples. please show them some love.
