A better view of the top....
I used PaperArtsy Fresco paints throughout. I lightly painted all over the box and chipboard with Vanilla and Ice Blue then over stamped with a text stamp in green Versafine. When that was all dry I dipped my finger (love this haha) into Claret and rubbed it around the edges and over the top to create a 'shabby' look. The whole box was then coated with some DecoArt Glamour Dust paint in Ice Crystal to give a sheen and to seal the paint. The hearts & swirl were crackle accented before sticking in place. I added felt to the bottom and inside to finish off.
See how many hearts you get in the bag for a couple of pounds...and why not take a look *HERE* at all our swirls.
I have also decorated the inside and used a larger heart...
Thank you for coming to take a look today, you are always very welcome, HUGS xxx

I love your box with these wonderful Tando embellishments and these subtle tones of Vanilla, Ice Blue and Claret you used ! Also Glamour Dust paint seems to give a fab glittering final texture...
You know what Karen ? You will not be surprised if I tell you that I love using my fingers too on the edges...LOL! :) Hugs xxx
You got a very warm and gorgeous finish, Karen. Love the whole piece, and the shade you used!
Your heart box looks wonderful Karen - I think you had fun making this!
