Project designed by Vesta Abel.
Materials:
film can, heart-shaped paper mache box, round tin - your choice
white shrink plastic
scissors
rubber stamp
permanent black ink
heat tool
Decor-It inks, bottle green, verdigris, copper
paper plate or newspaper
makeup sponges
any color pigment ink
scrap paper
silver or gold ultra-thick embossing powder - your choice
assorted beads
solvent stamp cleaner
Plaid Dimensional Magic paint - optional

Steps:
1. Using the lid from the box as a template, draw the shape of the box onto the white shrink plastic.
2. Cut out the shape with scissors. Stamp a design on the shape with permanent black ink.
3. Shrink the plastic shape with a heat tool until it lays flat. Set the shape aside.
4. Squeeze a small amount of each color Decor-It ink onto a paper plate.
5. Using a makeup sponge, sponge on the bottle green paint all over the box and lid. Randomly sponge on verdigris and copper ink over the bottle green for a marbled look.
6. Dab pigment ink straight from the pad onto the box lid.
7. Place scrap paper under the lid, pour the embossing powder over the lid, and shake the excess powder onto scrap paper.
8. Heat the powder until it is melted on the lid. Immediately cover the lid with another layer of powder and heat, and repeat the entire process for a third time.
9. While the lid is still hot, embed the small plastic piece in the center of the lid, aiming the heat tool on the embossed lid. Drop the beads randomly in the liquid embossing powder.
10. Set the lid aside to cool, and return the excess powder to its jar.
11. Clean the stamp with solvent cleaner.
