This year some of the members on the Gina's Designs Team decided to participate in a gift and goodie swap. It was a lot of fun decorating this unfinished cigar box from Michael's for my swap partner Angela. I began with paper in soft muted tones. I applied the paper with gel medium and put another coat of gel medium over the top. I decoupaged doilies and a dragonfly image on top of the base paper. I added a die cut frame and a chipboard frame on top of that and also coated with the gel medium. The embellishments are mainly crocheted appliques, a fabric flower, a cameo from the dollar store, and paper butterflies. I also applied a beautiful multi-colored lace trim on the sides and coated it with gel medium. On the outside of the top lid I applied some beaded trim and secured it with more gel medium.
On the inside I decoupaged more design paper and some die cut birds
