Vinatge Affair - DT post

Hello Friends


I am Mallika from Aola Handmade Cards again with a new DT project . 
This project I have name it as " Vintage Affair " . The name specifically denotes that how hooked I am to my favorite style vintage . I am actually having an affair with it . 
This is basically a Handmade jewelry box / Chocolate box / Letter box { Limitless possibilities }
I was super confused about which picture to upload first .. so I uploaded all the shots randomly .
The entire box was initially painted by black acrylic paint mixed with brown . The MDF box was let to dry . 
Once I had sookha box { Believe me I have no patience to wait } I started chopping my sheets by  my Tonic Trimmer before it dried . 
I used some beautiful patterned paper from my stash as the base . 
I did some paper tearing today after a long time . 
Can you see that rose ?? yeee that's Handmade ! I was so happy after finishing it . 
The little key and memories word is from my stash .
Can you see that flourish ?? That is Victorian Romance Flourish by Cherry Lynn .  { SURPRISE - Crafters Corner is giving 20% discount on all cherry lynn designs } 
I used some buttons from my stash . 
The flower which is used in the side wall is a Marrianne Die which will be available soon .
Can you see how I did the lid with jute twines . I had most fun doing that though I almost burned my fingers doing that . I hate Glue guns and their Tacky Behavior :P
For the inside I was really confused of what should I keep.{ I still can't afford a diamond necklace for keeping inside }Like always little note cards came to rescue . 
I made these quick note cards . The papers used are from various stacks . 
I have used the beautiful Die Floral Ovals  . 
The entire box has been distressed using these Gorguss inks available at our store ofcourse at best price too.
I kept some bhoosa for doing justice with its vintage look . 

PS - Do you know you can make beautiful roses using this die . 

I hope you all will leave your valuable feedback . 

Hugs
