Tweet Nothings Book Box~Tresors De Luxe

Welcome to Wednesday and to my last Design Team Reveal of the month for Tresors De Luxe! I had pinned a sweet little Robin image from a free printable board on Pinterest and wanted to use it to create an altered book box with, so I teamed it with Tresors laces, and embellishments to create the time worn Shabby look that is so dear to my heart. 

I started by coating the whole box in gesso, then stained the box using walnut stain. I then layered on a bottom layer of deeply distressed and inked Prima paper, then I tore out pages from this book that I found that had this gorgeous pink type set and parchment pages, Mod Podged them together, then stacked layers of them onto the top of the box. 

I then layered in Tresors Laces:

White Lace Trim LA-105

Lace Trim Venice LA-101

And,

Lace Trim Embroidered LA-165

added on a piece of sewn burlap, and then deeply distressed and inked the image and added it on.

The flowers are stash mulberry paper flowers that I inked the edges on, and then surrounded a Tresors:

Rustic Green Shabby Chic Flower Embellishment FL-095

along with a little Bird's nest and a rhinestone button to create a colorful focal point.

The Shabby Pink Roses Butterflies are from my Reneabouquets Etsy Shop.

I then ran Tresors:

down the binding side.

Here you can see all the technique work I did to create the look of "Pages" and the gorgeous dimension and texture the laces and embellishments create.

On the inside of the box, on the left side, I used more of those torn and inked book pages and some more distressed and inked Prima paper, and on the right side I added some Tresors:

Lace Trim Venice Lace LA-102

and a real bird's nest with little hand crafted clay eggs tucked inside. I have an obsession with real nests. I love to hike daily and hit different trail heads around Chattanooga, along the way, I love to collect little natural treasures, with bird's nests being my FAVS. I collect them in the Winter, long after the bird's have left them behind, and bring them home to use in my decor, and art projects.
