OMG, I have fallen totally in love ... with Gilding Flakes, Treasure Gold and Brass embellishments!!! I decided a while ago to make something just for me and bought a small single drawer kit from my fabulous usual suppliers .... Candy Box crafts via Pink Tulip!
I assembled the kit and decided to go mad and cover the whole thing in fabulous Indigo Blu Gilding flakes (Yorkshire Dales) and used Classic Treasure Gold around the edges . I selected a few floral/foliage type brass embellishment's on which I rubbed some Treasure Gold in both Classic Gold and Aquamarine before using them to decorate the top of the box and the drawer front. I also added tiny little adhesive pearls onto the centre of some of the flowers and a gold bow.
I am so happy with this little box and have the perfect place for it in my guest bedroom, where it will tone beautifully with my colour scheme. Off to play with some more brass embellishment's now and my new Ranger Patina's - can't wait to see what I can do with them. Happy Crafting.
