Altered MDF Receipts Box

I decided I needed a new receipts box so purchased an MDF box at the Hobbycrafts show at Event City from the MDF Man.  I covered the whole box with Indigo Blu white Gesso to give a good base.




I then used a lovely vintage style paper, which had a feint butterfly, on the top of the lid, stamped some branches using Card-io stamps.  Painted a MDF heart with Americana chalkboard paint, used vintage photo distress ink on the base then put a few flowers on the lid.  The spirals are the stems of the flowers which I twisted round one of my thin tools. Some string tied into a bow and a button finished off the box.  This was my first attempt at anything like this and am really quite pleased with it.
