I used acrylic paint throughout and randomly stamped a flourish over the inchies which I put on top. The whole box was then given a coat of PaperArtsy Gloss Glaze which gives a light sheen which you can see in the pic below. I added raised dots with a My Paper World Gloss Gel pen in Violet.
The inside is just as bright...
If you are not familiar with Kaffe's work and love a bit of colour do Google him. He does amazing tapestries, knitting and patchwork. Just take a look at this brightness...
and this quilt...
want something more subtle? This is a section of a needlework floor rug...
